The Killers Talk Fan Bases

Posted by Sam on 16th June 2009 in The Killers

The Killers front man Brandon Flowers recently had an interview with Entertainment Weekly talking about the difference between their fans in Britain and in America. He said “We’ve been embraced in Britain in a way that I’ll never understand, and it’s such a wonderful thing. But over here [in America], people are still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, those sorts of bands, that nobody else is allowed [to grow]. It’s not just us; there are a lot of great bands that have been held down or confined by the influence of these people that we’ve put up on pedestals. I’m tired of it, you know? I just want to knock them all off! And people don’t like that attitude. It’s almost like they don’t believe that it’s possible that anybody else can be the real deal.”

A Killers Baby

The Killers front man Brandon Flowers and his wife Tana Brooke Munblowsky are expecting! This will be the second child for the band’s lead singer and his wife, who had their first child, Ammon, back in 2007. Congratulations on the future addition to the family! I’m pretty sure that Brandon will be passing o his very adorable genes to the little one. I hope he passes on some of his talent too. Maybe the kid can serve as some inspiration too. I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl – or twins even! And does anyone have any idea when the kid’s due?
