Elsewhere, frontman Brandon Flowers recently revealed to NME that he’s working on his third solo album.

He said: “I’m making a solo record right now! I almost had it wrapped up. It’s different. I feel like it embodies a little bit of my first two solo records, but obviously there’s so much more living that I’ve done in the seven years since my last effort. I’ve got a lot more insight and things that I’ve absorbed. I’m really loving how it’s turning out.”

As for a potential new Killers record, Flowers said it is likely to continue in the same vein as their last album 2021’s ‘Pressure Machine‘.

He said: “I realised that the vehicle that I want to ride in had less synthesisers and less laser beams! I’m trying to figure that out. It’s not uncommon; we’ve made records like ‘Sam’s Town’ [2006], ‘Battle Born’ [2012] and definitely ‘Pressure Machine’ [2021] where there’s less presence of that kind of sound. I’m not disparaging that sound – a lot of that music has shaped who I am – but as I get older I want to be authentic to who I am and how I’m feeling. I have to follow that, and I just feel like that’s leading more towards guitar music, rock n’ roll and Americana music.”

As for where the next record is going lyrically, Flowers added: “Right now, I’ve been gravitating towards relationships and singing about what it takes for people to really make it, while still having empathy for the things that people go through that break them and trying to work through that. Every time I go into this kind of territory, it makes me stronger in my own relationships through realising what I need to do to make them work and what I need to put into them. It’s a really important process for me because it makes me a better person.”

The Killers also recently announced that they are releasing their Madison Square Garden performance with Bruce Springsteen for Record Store Day 2025.

Titled ‘The Killers & Bruce Springsteen Encore At The Garden’, the 12″ pressing will be available on April 12 at shops participating in Record Store Day. The tracklist is comprised of the three-song encore the band and the boss performed together on October 1, 2022 at the iconic New York arena. Only 5,000 pressings will be made available.
