All the things that Brandon Flowers has done now include fatherhood.
The 26-year-old Killers frontman and his wife Tana welcomed a son Saturday, their first child together.
The young one’s name hasn’t been released yet, but he’s already been dubbed the best British baby to be born in America.
Flowers and longtime girlfriend Tana Munblowsky tied the knot Aug. 5, 2005, in an intimate beachside ceremony in Honolulu, joined only by the singer’s band mates and a few others.
And thanks to his Killer schedule, Flowers has just enough time for a little father-son bonding before he’s due back on the road.
The Las Vegas-based quartet Flowers, guitarist Dave Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. are off to Europe next month to play a handful of festival dates, starting Aug. 14 at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, and then it’s back to the States and South America for more touring in support of their platinum-selling sophomore album Sam’s Town, which dropped in October.
Their debut, Hot Stuff, was nominated for seven Grammys in 2005, including Best Rock Album, and has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.
The Killers’ upcoming itinerary also includes a Sept. 14 stop at the three-day Austin City Limits Festival, where they’ll join Björk, Crowded House, Queens of the Stone Age, Joss Stone, LCD Sound system, M.I.A. and Pete Yorn, among others.
