The Killers are an American rock band formed in Las Vegas in 2001 by Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards, bass) and Dave Keuning (lead guitar, backing vocals). After going through a number of short-term bass players and drummers in their early days, both Mark Stoermer (bass, rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion) joined the band in 2002.[1] The band's name is derived from a logo on the bass drum of a fictitious band portrayed in the music video for the New Order song "Crystal".[2]

The Killers have released seven studio albums, each of which reached the top spot on the UK Albums Chart: Hot Fuss (2004), Sam's Town (2006), Day & Age (2008), Battle Born (2012), Wonderful Wonderful (2017), Imploding the Mirage (2020), and Pressure Machine (2021). They have also released a B-sides and rarities compilation, Sawdust (2007); a live album, Live from the Royal Albert Hall (2009); two greatest-hits albums, Direct Hits (2013) and Rebel Diamonds (2023); and a Christmas compilation, Don't Waste Your Wishes (2016).

Since 2016 and 2017 respectively, both Stoermer and Keuning have had extended periods of hiatus from the band, though both remain official members. Stoermer mostly retired from touring, citing both exhaustion from the road and lingering effects from a pyrotechnics accident, while Keuning has released a solo album. Despite his hiatus from touring, Stoermer has participated in recording sessions for Wonderful Wonderful and Imploding the Mirage, and it was announced that Keuning was participating in recording Pressure Machine, which was released on August 13, 2021. Ted Sablay, who had served as a touring keyboardist and rhythm guitarist for the band since 2006, assumed lead guitar duties for live shows in Keuning's absence, while touring rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Jake Blanton took up the job of bassist and has taken Stoermer's place in live shows. With Sablay moving to lead guitar, the band hired Taylor Milne and Robbie Connolly to play rhythm guitar and keyboards live.

The Killers are considered one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century,[3] selling more than 28 million records worldwide, including 10.8 million in the US alone.[4][5] They have performed in over 50 countries and on six continents, headlining venues such as Madison Square Garden, Wembley Stadium, Glastonbury Festival (2007 and 2019), and Electric Picnic[6] in Ireland in 2023.

2001–2003: Origins and formation

In 2001, Brandon Flowers was fired by his first band, a synth-pop trio known as Blush Response.[7] After attending an Oasis concert at the Hard Rock Hotel during The Tour of Brotherly Love, Flowers realized his calling was to be in a rock band and began searching for like-minded musicians.[8] He eventually came across an ad posted in a Las Vegas newspaper by Dave Keuning, a 25-year-old guitarist who had moved to Vegas from Iowa a year earlier. When the pair met, they bonded over similar musical influences and immediately began writing songs together in Keuning's apartment. They named their band the Killers as that was the name of a fictional band in the music video for the New Order song "Crystal".[9] In November 2001, they headed to Kill the Messenger Studio in Henderson, Nevada, along with recently recruited drummer Matt Norcross to begin recording a demo; they recorded two tracks: "Mr. Brightside", which was the first song Flowers and Keuning wrote together, and "Desperate". A month later, they recorded two more, "Under the Gun" and "Replaceable", with Keuning's roommate Dell Neal on bass.[10]

Keuning and Flowers played their first live show together at an open mic night at the Cafe Espresso Roma in Las Vegas in January 2002;[11] the pair, joined by Neal and Norcross, began playing venues around the city where they would also hand out free copies of their demo.[10] The Killers brought a unique style to the small Vegas music scene which was predominately filled with punk, nu metal, and rap bands; one local reviewer stated, "The Killers, thankfully, don't come across like any other band in town", and described their sound as a mix between the "pop styles of British music and the lo-fi fuzz of modern indie rock".[12] However, the Killers, whose early live sound was also described as erratic, had, by the summer of 2002, fired drummer Matt Norcross and replaced him briefly with Brian Havens, who was also eventually fired. Bassist Dell Neal later left the band due to personal reasons.[10]

Ronnie Vannucci Jr. joined the Killers shortly before Neal's departure. Vannucci was well known on the Las Vegas music scene, having played in numerous bands since he was young. It was while he was drumming for other bands including Daphne Major and Romance Fantasy in 2002 that he had met the Killers. Ronnie's first show with the band was on August 30, 2002, at a club called The Junkyard.[13] Playing bass for the Killers that night was Mark Stoermer, who was at this point the lead guitarist for local progressive rock band the Negative Ponies. The band were keen on Stoermer joining them on a permanent basis, but he was initially reluctant to commit. They had first approached him to be the second guitarist when they were considering turning the band into a five-piece, "possibly more like the Strokes, with a keyboard". Stoermer mentioned later on that he could also play bass.[14] The band had continued as a three-piece trying out other bassists until November 2002, when Stoermer eventually accepted the invitation to join. According to Ryan Pardey, who booked many of the band's early shows, "They (the Killers) became a great band when Ronnie and Mark joined. That's when they finally became a cohesive unit. What Ronnie did — he was the discipline — and Mark was just a solid musician."[11]

The band's official logo, first used in 2003

While walking through a Virgin Megastore in Las Vegas in 2002, Flowers noticed the album artwork on the then-new Elvis Presley compilation album ELV1S: 30 No. 1 Hits. This gave him the inspiration to use a marquee sign motif as the band's logo. The band hired Vannucci's roommate's girlfriend to design it, and the logo has been used in the band's branding, releases, promotional materials, and merchandise ever since.[15]

The four members would get together in Vannucci's garage to work on song ideas. They would also sneak into the band room at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (where Vannucci was studying classical percussion) at night to practice. It was during this period that the band wrote much of their debut album Hot Fuss including hit singles "Somebody Told Me" and "Smile Like You Mean It".[16] The band continued playing at small venues around their hometown, often playing Sunday nights at a transgender bar named Sasha's (later renamed Tramps).[17] It wasn't long before they caught the attention of Braden Merrick, an A&R rep for Warner Bros. Records who had come across their demo on a website dedicated to unsigned bands in the Las Vegas area; after attending a live show he offered to help the band find a record deal and eventually became their manager. He took the band to the San Francisco area, to Berkeley, California, to record demos with former Green Day manager Jeff Saltzman, they then sent the demo tapes out to major record labels in the US. The band was invited to perform at a number of showcases but were ultimately not signed, the band however did catch the eye of Alex Gilbert,[18] who was an A&R rep from the United Kingdom. Gilbert took a demo with him back to the UK and showed it to his friend Ben Durling, who worked at the newly formed Independent label Lizard King Records in London. Despite not yet meeting the band in person, Lizard King were quick to offer the band a deal based on the strength of the five song demo. The Killers signed with the British label in July 2003.[19]

2003–2005: Hot Fuss

On August 19, 2003, the song "Mr. Brightside" premiered on DJ Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show in the UK.[20][21] The Killers traveled to London the following month to spend a week playing at influential live music venues across the city. On September 29, 2003, the song "Mr. Brightside" was released in the UK on a limited number of CDs and vinyl records.[22] Critical reviews of both the song and the shows were positive: NME noted the band's retro sound, commenting "The Killers steal so smartly, and with such mind-boggling variety".[23] As a result of the buzz generated in the UK, a number of major labels in the US began showing strong interest in the band and they were invited to play at the ASCAP CMJ Music Marathon in New York City.[24] They eventually signed with the record label Island Def Jam.[16]

The band finished recording Hot Fuss in November 2003 with Jeff Saltzman. They decided to keep many of the previously recorded demos as they felt they had a spontaneity that re-recordings would not have. Shortly afterwards they returned to London having been invited to support British Sea Power on their UK tour, the band also worked with Alan Moulder at Eden Studios and Townhouse Studios mixing tracks for their upcoming album. They continued playing support slots during the first half of 2004 most notably touring both the US & UK with Stellastarr and opening for Morrissey on two occasions. The band filmed their first music video for the Spring 2004 release of "Somebody Told Me" which was to be the band's debut single in the US and second single in the UK. The band's first headline tour started in the UK in May 2004. During the spring and summer of 2004, the group played well-received sets at festivals across Europe and North America which helped add to their growing fanbase.[25]

"All These Things That I've Done"

The anthemic "All These Things That I've Done" with its notable refrain "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier" became one of the Killers' most well-known songs.

The Killers released their debut album Hot Fuss on June 7, 2004, in the United Kingdom on Lizard King Records and a week later in the United States on Island Records.[26] The track listing differed depending on territory, in the UK and Australia "Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll" replaces "Change Your Mind" as track eight. Upon release Hot Fuss received generally favorable reviews from critics.[27] Extensive touring and the success of the Grammy Award nominated singles "Somebody Told Me", "All These Things That I've Done" and "Mr. Brightside"[28][29] led to the album becoming a huge commercial success. Hot Fuss reached number one in the UK in January 2005, seven months after its release, and has been certified 7× Platinum in both the UK and Ireland.[30] It went on to spend more weeks on the UK Albums chart than any other album that decade, 173 weeks in total. In the US, the album reached its peak position of number seven in April 2005 and has been certified 3× Platinum.[31][32] It reached the top spot in Australia in March 2005, where it was certified 3× Platinum. It has also been certified 3× Platinum in Canada, Platinum in New Zealand and Gold in Argentina, Belgium, Germany and France. "Mr. Brightside" would eventually be downloaded 3.7 million times in the United States as of July 2017[update] and certified Diamond.[33]

The Killers were named the World's Best Selling New Group at the 2005 World Music Awards, the same year they won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist and were also nominated for three Grammy Awards with Hot Fuss being nominated for Best Rock Album. In the UK, they picked up an NME Award for Best International Band. The band was recognized by Rolling Stone as the "best-selling new rock band of the past year" in June 2005.[34] Lead singer Brandon Flowers had also gained media attention, being named both Sexiest and Best Dressed Man at the NME Awards, he had also caused controversy due to some outspoken views on other bands.[34]

In July 2005, the Killers performed on the London stage of the Live 8 concert, playing "All These Things That I've Done". Robbie Williams incorporated the song's refrain "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" into his own performance.[35] Coldplay and U2 followed suit and, at their separate concerts played in Las Vegas, with the Killers in the crowd, incorporated the line into their songs "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" and "Beautiful Day", respectively.

The band fired manager Braden Merrick in 2006. Merrick later filed a lawsuit against the band for breach of contract[36] and their new manager and lawyer, Robert Reynolds, for $16 million each.[37] The band counter sued, citing that Merrick's poor management had cost them millions. The case was settled in 2009.[38]

2006–2007: Sam's Town and Sawdust

Shortly after finishing touring for Hot Fuss, the Killers headed back into the studio to start recording their highly anticipated second studio album with producers Alan Moulder and Flood, who were working together for the first time in a decade.[39] Sam's Town was mostly recorded at Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas, with finishing touches added to the album at Criterion Studios, London in June 2006. Upon completion of the album, Flowers claimed he felt the band had made "one of the best albums of the past twenty years" and that he wanted the album to capture "everything important that got me to where I am today". In July 2006, the lead single "When You Were Young" was premiered and it became a hit, gaining another two Grammy Award nominations and mostly positive reviews with many bringing attention to the influence of heartland rock on the song.

The Killers performing in October 2006

The Killers' second album, Sam's Town, was released in October 2006 under Island Def Jam Music Group.[40][41] It received a varied response with some critics praising the album and the evolution of the band and others criticizing and mocking it, most notably it received a scathing review from Rolling Stone.[42] The album sold over 706,000 copies worldwide in the first week of release, reaching number two on the US Billboard chart and number one on the UK chart.[43] The album has since been certified 5× Platinum in the United Kingdom; 4× Platinum in Ireland; 2× Platinum in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand; Platinum in the United States and Gold in Argentina, Belgium, Germany, and Russia.

The Killers recorded a live session at Abbey Road Studios for Live from Abbey Road on November 29, 2006.[44] They performed an almost totally unplugged set, which included stripped back versions of the album's title track "Sam's Town", "When You Were Young" and a rendition of the Dire Straits hit "Romeo and Juliet". In December 2006, the band released a Christmas charity song, "A Great Big Sled", which benefited Product Red. This has since become an annual tradition. The band during their first arena tour in 2007.

In February 2007, the Killers attended the BRIT Awards in the United Kingdom, where they performed "When You Were Young". The band won two awards — Best International Group & International Album.[45] In the same month, the band's Tim Burton-directed video for the album's second single, "Bones", won Best Video at the NME Awards.

The band recorded the video for the album's third single "Read My Mind" in Tokyo, Japan during a break in their Sam's Town Tour. The single release was accompanied by a remix of the song by the Pet Shop Boys. Due to high ticket demand, the Killers began headlining arenas including Madison Square Garden for the first time and also headlined a number of major European festivals during 2007, including Glastonbury Festival.[46]

As of July 2017[update], the Killers have sold 5.3 million copies of both Hot Fuss and Sam's Town.[33]

The band released a compilation album called Sawdust, containing B-sides from the band's first two albums, rarities, and unreleased material in November 2007. Sawdust has been classified Platinum in the UK.[47] The album's first single "Tranquilize", a collaboration with Lou Reed, was released in October 2007.[47] The album also featured a cover of "Shadowplay" by Joy Division which was recorded for the soundtrack to the Anton Corbijn directed biopic Control.[48]

2007–2011: Day & Age and hiatus

Brandon Flowers during the Day & Age World Tour

The band enlisted Stuart Price to produce their third studio album, he had previously remixed their songs under his Jacques Lu Cont moniker, the most notable being the remix of "Mr. Brightside". They first met Price at his London home in 2007 to discuss the possibility of him producing some unreleased tracks for their b-sides album Sawdust, however that same night they ended up in Price's home studio recording a demo of "Human" a new song that would become the eventual lead single from Day & Age. The band took six months apart following the completion of their Sam's Town tour, during this period they would send song ideas between each other and Price via Logic Pro. The band finished recording the album with Price at the band's newly acquired Battle Born Studios in Las Vegas.[49]

"Human" was released in October 2008 with Flowers describing the song as "Johnny Cash meets the Pet Shop Boys". The song went on to become a huge hit worldwide, the lyric "Are we human, or are we dancer?" created much confusion and debate due to its grammar and ambiguity, with some believing the lyric was "dancers" or "denser" rather than "dancer", Flowers explained that the line was inspired by a Hunter S. Thompson quote where he stated America was raising "a generation of dancers". It has since been voted by one poll as the most confusing song lyric of all time.[50]

The Killers performing in 2009

The Killers' third album, Day & Age, was released on November 18, 2008. Flowers stated that Day & Age was "like looking at Sam's Town from Mars", the band have called it their "most playful record" with the album making use of saxophones, steel drums, harpsichord, and tribal chanting. The album also saw the band write some of their most personal and challenging lyrics to date, closing track "Goodnight, Travel Well" was written about the death of Keuning's mother. While "A Dustland Fairytale" was written as a tribute to frontman Flowers' parents, his mother had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Day & Age became the band's third studio album to reach number one in both the UK and Ireland, it reached number six on the Billboard 200 album chart.[51] It has also been certified 4× Platinum in the UK and Ireland, Platinum in Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Canada and Gold in the US, Mexico, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Greece and the Middle East.

Set design for the Day & Age World Tour

The band embarked on the Day & Age World Tour, during which they performed on every continent and headlined US festivals Lollapalooza and Coachella for the first time. The tour was named one of the top 50 worldwide concert tours of 2009.[52] On July 5–6, 2009 at the Royal Albert Hall, London the Killers recorded their first live DVD, Live from the Royal Albert Hall. It was released in November and played at various cinemas across the globe. Live from the Royal Albert Hall was certified 2× Platinum in the UK, Platinum in the US and Australia and Gold in Ireland and Brazil.

In January 2010, the band announced that they would take a short break after being on the road for the better part of six years.[53] The break lasted for about a year and a half, during which band members devoted themselves on solo projects, while the band made sporadic other contributions. In late February 2010, Flowers' mother died after a two-year fight with brain cancer. This resulted in the cancellation of dates in Asia. Two Australian dates in Sydney and Perth were also cancelled; however, both the Gold Coast and Melbourne concerts went ahead, with the Day & Age tour finally coming to a close in Melbourne on February 21 when the Killers were the headline act of the Good Vibrations Festival at Flemington Racecourse.[54]

2011–2013: Return and Battle Born

The band returned to the stage in 2011 when they headlined the new International Lollapalooza Festival in Santiago, Chile on April 2, 2011.[55] They also performed at the season closing Top of the Mountain concert in Ischgl, Austria on April 30, 2011.[56] They headlined Hard Rock Calling for the second time in Hyde Park, London on June 24, 2011.[57] The Killers were also the inaugural headliner of the new Orlando Calling Festival in Orlando, Florida on November 12, 2011.[58]

Brandon Flowers in 2012

The band headed back into the studio to record their fourth studio album in 2011, during the recording they worked with five producers Steve Lillywhite, Damian Taylor, Brendan O'Brien, Stuart Price and Daniel Lanois.[59] In June 2012, a short trailer was released on the Killers official VEVO page, revealing the album's name Battle Born,[60] named after the flag of Nevada. This was followed by the release of lead single "Runaways" in July. That same month, they headlined Saturday night at the inaugural Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware.

The Killers' fourth studio album Battle Born was released on September 18, 2012. The album became the Killers' fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the UK and Ireland and has been certified Platinum in the UK and Gold in Ireland, Mexico and Australia. The band's Battle Born World Tour proved their most widespread yet with the band visiting new territories including Russia and China. The tour was named the 43rd highest grossing worldwide during 2013.[61] On June 22, 2013, the band played their biggest show to date at the 90,000 capacity Wembley Stadium; the band performed a song specifically written for the occasion. Reviews of the show were extremely positive.[62] The band once again headlined festivals across Europe, Australia, South America & North America. In October 2013 the Killers headlined the inaugural Life Is Beautiful Festival in hometown Las Vegas, concluding their Battle Born World Tour.

2013–2016: Direct Hits

On September 11, 2013, the band tweeted a picture, which contained six lines of Morse code. The code was translated to "The Killers Shot at the Night". On September 16, 2013, exactly ten years to the day of their first show in London, the Killers released "Shot at the Night" which was produced by Anthony Gonzalez. It was also revealed that they would be releasing their first greatest hits compilation, Direct Hits released on November 11, 2013.[63] The album featured songs from all four studio albums, the new single "Shot at the Night" and another new song "Just Another Girl".

The band headlined the opening night of the new T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas strip on April 6, 2016, the band were joined during their set by a number of guests including "Mr. Las Vegas" Wayne Newton and the Blue Man Group.[64] On May 24, 2016, the band announced that Mark Stoermer was taking a break from touring "to pursue other educational goals and releasing a solo album". The statement emphasized that Stoermer was still involved in working on the band's fifth album and will still occasionally perform live with them in the future.[65] In Stoermer's absence touring keyboardist/guitarist Jake Blanton moved to bass guitar. On September 30 and October 1, 2016, the band (including Stoermer) celebrated the tenth anniversary of their second album, Sam's Town, by playing two nights at the Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, which the album was named after. For these shows, they played the album in full from start to finish.[66] The band contributed a track titled "Mixed Signals" to Robbie Williams' eleventh studio album, The Heavy Entertainment Show, released in November 2016.[67]

The run of shows concluded with a sold-out headline performance at the British Summer Time festival in London's Hyde Park.[71]

The Killers performing in September 2017

On August 6, 2017, it was announced that Dave Keuning was going on an indefinite hiatus from the band, citing exhaustion from a grueling tour schedule and a desire to spend more time with his son.[72]

The Killers released a statement on August 28, 2017, confirming that neither Stoermer nor Keuning would participate in the band's upcoming Wonderful Wonderful World Tour, while reiterating that both are still members of the band. Jake Blanton would continue to fill in for Stoermer while touring guitarist/keyboardist Ted Sablay would fill in for Keuning.[73] The band added another two touring musicians: keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Robbie Connolly and rhythm/lead guitarist Taylor Milne, a member of Big Talk, Vannucci's project.[74]

The band headlined the 2017 AFL Grand Final in Melbourne, Australia on September 30, 2017.[75][76] Following the conclusion of the game, the band also headlined a free concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)[77] and earned praise for their performance. They also welcomed onstage Jack Riewoldt, a fan and a vice-captain of the Richmond side that had been victorious against Adelaide in the Grand Final, to perform "Mr. Brightside" with them.[78]

The Killers performing at Bonnaroo 2018

In May 2018, Flowers told the Irish Independent that he wanted to make another album with the band.[81] In October 2018, guitarist Dave Keuning told NME that the band was in the early stages of the next album, though he wasn't sure how big a role he would have in its creation process.[82]

On November 15, 2019, the Killers announced their 6th studio album titled Imploding the Mirage for a Spring 2020 release.[86] On that day, the band also announced a UK and Ireland stadium tour to take place in May and June 2020.[87] On March 12, 2020, the album's lead single "Caution" was released featuring a solo by Lindsey Buckingham.[88] Lindsey Buckingham said of the band, "There's such a strong center to what they're doing. Their material is so well crafted that it cuts across a lot of generational lines."[89] It was also confirmed by Flowers that Keuning did not participate in recording the album and that he will still not be touring with the band.[90] On April 25, 2020, "Caution" reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, setting a record of 13 years and 6 months since the band's last number-one song on the chart.[91]

In an interview with Rolling Stone published on May 5, 2020, Flowers and Vannucci stated that while Keuning is on hiatus from the band and that they had difficulties in working on the new album without him, he is still welcome to return to the Killers. They also stated that although Stoermer's role in the band continues to be limited due to pyro-inflicted hearing damage suffered during a past show in London, he is still close with Flowers and Vannucci, was involved in the recording of the album, and is expected to play select live shows once touring resumes.[92] On July 15, 2020, the band released the music video of their new album second single "My Own Soul's Warning" and stated the album would be released on August 21, 2020.[93]

2020–2021: Pressure Machine and Keuning's return

On the weekend of Imploding the Mirage's release, Flowers revealed that the band was currently in the studio working on their seventh studio album: "You know when someone makes a record and they say that they have fifty songs and they're going to release another record? Well, we really are! We're going to release another one in about ten months. We've already gone back into the studio with [producers Jonathan] Rado and Shawn [Everett]. I'm excited. It might be better than [Imploding the Mirage]."[94] The band revealed in 22 December a provisional "A-List" of "apparent song titles on social media, sparking speculation that another new album could be on the way".[95] In January 2021, Dave Keuning reunited with the band in the studio to record their 7th album. Keuning also said that he and Mark Stoermer are open to playing live with the band.[96][97] During a podcast interview in June, Vannucci revealed that the album would be released in August.[98]

Earlier in 2021, the band moved performance rights management from ASCAP to Irving Azoff-owned performance rights organization Global Music Rights.

On June 10, 2021 Bruce Springsteen announced an upcoming collaboration with the Killers.[99] Later that day the Killers' social media announced the remake of "A Dustland Fairytale" retitled "Dustland" after a series of teases by the band throughout the day.[100]

As it was announced on July 19, 2021, the band's seventh album, entitled Pressure Machine, was released on August 13, 2021. Mark Stoermer remained absent due to difficulties presented by the COVID-19 Pandemic during recording and did not make it to the studio.[101] Pressure Machine debuted at No. 1. on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, snagging the band's seventh U.K. No. 1.[102]

2021–present: Aborted eighth album and Rebel Diamonds

In June 2021, Keuning confirmed that the band had begun working on their eighth album, for which Flowers alluded to an early 2023 release in July 2022.[103][104]

In March 2022, the band released a deluxe edition of Pressure Machine. The next month they kicked off their Imploding the Mirage tour with three nights at the Chelsea Ballroom in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Bassist Mark Stoermer was still absent, his part covered on tour by Jake Blanton, but Stoermer was reportedly interested in recording the band's next album, their eighth.[105]

On July 8, 2022, the band unveiled their upcoming single "Boy" during their performance at Mad Cool Festival in Madrid. The song was written during the Pressure Machine recording sessions but didn't fit the album's aesthetic. During an interview with NME Flowers confirmed they have been working on their eighth album, stating there would be more single releases in 2022 leading to the album's release early 2023.[106]

On August 15, 2023, the band performed at the Black Sea Arena in Shekvetili, Georgia. During a performance of a song "For Reasons Unknown", the band attracted controversy as they randomly invited fans, one of whom was Russian, from the crowd on stage to help them perform the song. This was followed by booing by some parts of the crowd. The band's lead singer Brandon Flowers tried to defuse the tensions by saying that all Killers fans are "brothers and sisters"; some parts of the audience left in protest. The band later shared an apology on their social media, saying that they did not want to insult anyone and their message about friendship to be misconstrued amid the political tensions between Russia and Georgia and occupation of Georgian territories by Russia.[107][108] Later that month, Flowers confirmed that the eighth album had been scrapped due to his dissatisfaction with its direction, stating "I don’t think you’ll see us making this type of music any more."[109]

On December 8, 2023, the band released its second greatest hits compilation, Rebel Diamonds, which included three songs from the aborted eighth studio album: "Boy", "Your Side of Town" and "Spirit". On December 25, the band released a fourth new song, named "We Did It In the Name of Love".[110]

Activism and philanthropy

Political relations

Invited by U.S. President Barack Obama, the band played on the White House South Lawn on July 4, 2010, for the second annual "Salute to the Military" United Service Organizations concert as part of Independence Day celebrations, which Flowers described as a "monumental honor".[135] Despite their hiatus, the band got together to play "Human", "Somebody Told Me", "Mr. Brightside", "A Dustland Fairytale", "God Bless America/Read My Mind" and "When You Were Young".[136] Flowers, Keuning and Stoermer also played at a campaign rally on July 8, 2010, in Nevada for Obama and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who was up for re-election. The Killers played an acoustic version of "Read My Mind" and did a folksy rendition of the state song, "Home Means Nevada".[137] In February 2011, Flowers had a private lunch with Mitt Romney during Romney's visit to the Republican Party convention in Nevada.[138] In 2012, the band remained neutral in the election.[139] In 2015, Flowers performed a folksy rendition of the state song, "Home Means Nevada" for Obama and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid at the National Clean Energy Summit.[140] In 2017 the band wrote a letter opposing development on the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.[141] "Land of the Free" references a number of political issues, including immigration, gun control, and police killings of African Americans.[142]

Annual Christmas singles and Don't Waste Your Wishes

Beginning in 2006, the Killers released annual Christmas themed singles and videos in aid of the charity Product Red, supporting The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The band released ten Christmas themed songs and music videos as singles: "A Great Big Sled" (2006), "Don't Shoot Me Santa" (2007), "Joseph, Better You than Me" (2008), "Happy Birthday Guadalupe!" (2009), "Boots" (2010), "The Cowboys' Christmas Ball" (2011), "I Feel It in My Bones" (2012), "Christmas In LA" (2013), "Joel the Lump of Coal" (2014), and "Dirt Sledding" (2015). On November 30, 2011, they released the (RED) Christmas EP on iTunes which features all six songs that had been released up to that point. Over the years they have enlisted the help of other musicians and celebrities including Elton John, Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys), Toni Halliday (Curve), Wild Light, Mariachi El Bronx, Dawes, Owen Wilson, Jimmy Kimmel & Richard Dreyfuss. In 2016 they announced that they would be releasing no more Christmas singles but that they hoped another band would carry on the tradition, to wrap things up they released a compilation album Don't Waste Your Wishes featuring all ten previous singles plus a cover of the holiday classic "I'll Be Home for Christmas" which featured vocals from Brandon Flowers' former elementary school teacher and Korean War veteran Ned Humphrey Hansen. All proceeds from the songs and the compilation album have been and will be donated to Product Red campaign and the fight against AIDS in Africa and as of 2016[update] they have raised over $1 million for the charity.[143][144][145]

Additional contributions

The Killers song "Goodnight, Travel Well" was used in an effort to promote awareness for sex trafficking headed by UNICEF, MTV EXIT (End Exploitation And Trafficking), and the US Agency for International Development.[146][147] "Hotel California" was covered by the Killers and Rhythms del Mundo with proceeds benefiting climate crisis and natural disaster relief.[148] The U2 song "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" was covered by the Killers with proceeds benefiting famine-stricken areas.[149] The band headlined the 2017 Global Citizen Festival.[150]

殺手樂團 (The Killers)是一個來自美國內華達州拉斯維加斯的樂團。在2001年由Brandon Flowers (主唱、鍵盤、貝斯) 以及Dave Keuning (主音吉他、合音) 組成。Mark Stoermer (貝斯、節奏吉他、合音) 和Ronnie Vannucci Jr.(鼓手) 在2002年加入,組成了現在的成員組合。樂團的名稱的靈感來自於新秩序樂團(New Order)「Crystal」這首歌的音樂錄影帶之中,一個虛構樂團低音鼓上的標誌。

殺手樂團目前發行過五張暢銷排行榜專輯: 聲名大噪 Hot Fuss (2004)、山姆小鎮 Sam's Town (2006)、歲月 Day & Age (2008)、光榮戰役 Battle Born (2012)、完美境界 Wonderful Wonderful (2017)。樂團也發行B面/稀有錄音精選: 深藏不露 Sawdust (2007); 現場演出專輯: Live from the Royal Albert Hall (2009); 經典歌曲合輯: 十年輝煌 Direct Hits (2013); 以及聖誕節合輯: 別浪費了你的願望 Don't Waste Your Wishes (2016)。

殺手獲英國權威音樂雜誌NME頒發NME音樂獎「2005最佳國際樂隊」。他們的大碟「聲名大噪」曾登上英國金榜兩週冠軍寶座。 U2樂團主唱Bono、艾爾頓·強、大衛·鮑伊及杜蘭杜蘭都曾經讚賞他們的音樂。

殺手樂團被認為是2000年後最重要的樂團之一,以及來自內華達州有史以來最成功的樂團。殺手樂團的現場演奏達到國際上的成功,在超過6個大陸、50個國家中演出,並進軍像是「麥迪遜花園廣場」以及「溫布利球場」等一級場館。

歷史[編輯]

2001 – 2003:起源和成形[編輯]

Brandon Flowers在2001年遭到他所參與的第一個樂團開除(Blush Response, 一個拉斯維加斯的流行電音樂團)。不過在參加一場綠洲合唱團(Oasis)在Hard Rock Hotel舉辦的「The Tour of Brotherly Love」巡迴演唱會之後,Brandon Flowers意識到他的使命就是搖滾樂,並開始尋找與他志同道合的音樂人。最終他在某個拉斯維加斯當地的報紙上看到由Dave Keuning所貼出的徵夥伴廣告,一位25歲的吉他手,一年前剛從愛荷華州搬到拉斯維加斯。因為受到相同的音樂風格影響,當兩人見面後一拍即合,並開始在Dave Keuning的家中共同創作歌曲。他們在2001年11月前往位在內華達州亨德森的Kill The Messenger Studio一同與剛招募的鼓手Matt Norcross錄製試唱帶。由Brandon Flowers和Dave Keuning共同創作的第一首歌「Mr. Brightside」以及「Desperate」為樂團最初所錄製的兩首。一個月後樂團又錄了兩首: Under the Gun和Replaceable,並由Dave Keuning的室友擔任貝斯手。「Mr. Brightside」最後成為了一首英倫經典。

Brandon Flowers和Dave Keuning的第一次現場演出是在2002年1月,在拉斯維加斯一間名叫Cafe Espresso Roma的館子。兩人同Dell Neal和Matt Norcross開始在拉斯維加斯各處演出,並免費分送他們所錄製的試唱帶。殺手樂團為拉斯維加斯充滿龐克、新金屬、以及饒舌的小小音樂圈帶來了一種獨特的新曲風。當時在地的一位評論家表示: 「幸好殺手樂團並不像城裡的任何其他樂團一樣」,並形容他們的音樂介於「英國流行樂以及具低傳真風格的獨立搖滾」。不過初期的現場演出被形容為不穩定的,樂團在2002年夏天開除了鼓手Matt Norcross並找來Brian Havens替代,不過不久後也遭開除。而貝斯手Dell Neal後來因個人原故也選擇離開了樂團。

Ronnie Vannucci Jr.(英語:Ronnie Vannucci Jr.)在Dell Neal離開不久前加入,Ronnie Vannucci Jr.在拉斯維加斯的音樂圈中相當有名氣,自年輕時就在為數不少的樂團中演奏。而當他在2002年認識殺手樂團時,他正同時在Daphne Major和Romance Fantasy擔任鼓手。Ronnie Vannucci Jr.的第一場與殺手的演出是在2002年8月30日,在一間名叫Junkyard的俱樂部。而當晚為殺手樂團擔任貝斯手的是Mark Stoermer,當時他是前衛搖滾樂團The Negative Ponies的主音吉他手。殺手樂團非常希望Mark Stoermer能夠成為樂團的固定班底,但他起初並不願意承諾此事。樂團起初提議讓他成為第二位吉他手,當時殺手正考慮成為五人樂團。殺手樂團持續以三人組合演出並嘗試與不同的貝斯手合作,直到2002年11月Mark Stoermer同意加入。根據Ryan Pardey(一位參與樂團許多早期演出的觀眾),「殺手在Ronnie和Mark加入後真正成為一個了不起的樂團,兩人的加入讓他們成為一個有凝聚力的樂團。」

四人當時會聚在Ronnie Vannucci Jr.的車庫裡思考歌曲創作的點子。他們也會在晚上溜進內華達大學拉斯維加斯分校的樂團室練習(當時Ronnie Vannucci Jr.正在此大學修讀古典打擊樂)。而在這個期間他們創作出許多收錄在出道專輯「聲名大噪 Hot Fuss」之中的歌曲,包括著名單曲Somebody Told Me以及Smile Like You Mean It。殺手樂團持續在當地的小場地演出,並經常在一間名叫Sasha's(後來改名為Tramps)的同志酒吧演奏。而在不久後受到了華納兄弟唱片星探Braden Merrick的注意。他在一個專為拉斯維加斯地區未簽約樂團而設立的網站上發現了殺手的試唱帶; 在參加一場他為樂團提供尋找簽約機會的現場演出後,最終成為了殺手樂團的經紀人。他帶樂團來到加州舊金山地區的柏克萊與前年輕歲月合唱團(Green Day)的經紀人Jeff Saltzman錄製試唱帶,然後將它們寄給美國各大音樂品牌。殺手樂團被邀請參加許多演示不過最終並沒有得到合約,但是引起了英國星探Alex Gilbert注意。他將錄音帶帶回英國並秀給他的朋友Ben Durling聽,而Ben Durling任職於一家位在倫敦新成立的唱片公司Lizard King Records。儘管尚未與樂團成員見面,Lizard King迅速地提供了一份合約。殺手樂團在2003年與英國唱片公司簽約。

2003 – 2006:聲名大噪(Hot Fuss)[編輯]

「Mr. Brightside」於2003年8月19日在英國的DJ Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1節目上首次播出。隔月殺手樂團來到倫敦並在接下來的星期裡,在城中各個具有影響力的音樂場地中演出。「Mr. Brightside」在2003年9月29日以限量CD以及黑膠唱片發行。評論對於歌曲及現場演出都做出相當正面的評價。NME提到了樂團的復古曲風:"巧妙並帶著這樣令人難以置信的變化"。殺手樂團在英國所引起的騷動,讓許多美國主流唱片公司開始對殺手樂團展現出強烈的興趣並邀請樂團在紐約的ASCAP CMJ音樂馬拉松節目中演出,樂團最終與唱片公司Island Def Jam簽下合約。

殺手樂團在2003年11月與Jeff Saltzman完成了「聲名大噪」的專輯錄製,它們決定保留多首先前錄製的試唱帶。殺手樂團不久後受邀回到倫敦支援另一個英國樂團British Sea Power,並且與Alan Moulder合作在Eden Studios和Townhouse Studios為即將發行的專輯混音。殺手樂團在2004年前半持續的扮演輔助角色,最值得注意到的是,在美國與英國跟著樂團Stellastarr巡演,以及於不同的場合為莫里西(Morrissey)開場。樂團為了2004年春天在美國第一支、在英國第二支發行的單曲「Somebody Told Me」拍攝了第一部的音樂錄影帶。2004年5月,殺手的第一次巡迴演出始於英國,樂團在歐洲和北美的各個音樂節繳出了廣受好評的表現,幫助了它們拓展持續增長的粉絲群。

2004年6月7日,殺手樂團於英國發行出道專輯「聲名大噪 Hot Fuss」,專輯也在一週後於美國發行。其中收錄的曲目依發行地區而有所不同,在英國和澳洲第八首曲目由「Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll」取代了「Change Your Mind」。在發行初「聲名大噪 Hot Fuss」獲得了總體來說不錯的評價。由於樂團各處的巡迴演出以及「Somebody Told Me」、「All These Thing That I've Done」、「Mr. Brightside」等單曲得到格萊美獎的提名,讓「聲名大噪 Hot Fuss」成為巨大的商業成功。「聲名大噪 Hot Fuss」於2005年1月來到了英國排行榜冠軍,發行後七個月專輯在英國和愛爾蘭便獲7x白金認證。此專輯保持在英國排行榜上173週,比十年內任何一張專輯都還要久。2005年4月在美國最高排名達到第七,以及獲得3x白金認證。2005年3月在澳洲奪得榜首,同樣獲得3x白金認證。此專輯獲得3x白金認證的國家還有加拿大。另外專輯在其他國家也獲得白金(紐西蘭)和金(阿根廷、比利時、德國、法國)認證。「Mr. Brightside」截止2017年7月被下載了三百七十萬次。

殺手樂團在2005年「世界音樂獎」被提名為世界最暢銷新團體,同一年樂團贏得「MTV錄影帶音樂獎」最佳新人獎,以及三項葛萊美獎提名包含「聲名大噪 Hot Fuss」提名為最佳搖滾專輯,並在「新音樂快遞音樂獎 NME Award」贏得最佳國際樂團。2005年6月,滾石雜誌認為殺手樂團是「近十年最暢銷新搖滾樂團」。主唱Brandon Flowers也獲得了許多媒體關注,被認為是「新音樂快遞音樂獎」當天最性感和最佳裝扮男星,不過他也因為對於其他樂團的言論引起了一些爭議。

2005年7月,殺手樂團在倫敦Live 8演唱「All These Thing That I've Done」。Robbie Williams將歌曲中的一段歌詞「I've got soul but I'm not a soldier」加入自己的演出中。Coldplay以及U2隨後也在拉斯維加斯於各自的演唱會中加入此橋段。

殺手樂團在2006年開除了他們的經理Braden Merrick,隨後Braden Merrick對樂團的違約、樂團的新經理以及律師提出告訴。殺手樂團則提出反訴,認為Braden Merrick不佳的管理已經造成樂團數百萬的損失。此案在2009年擺平。

2006–2007:山姆小鎮(Sam's Town)、深藏不露(Sawdust)[編輯]

在聲名大噪巡迴演出不久後,殺手樂團回到錄音室與製作人Alan Moulder以及Flood開始錄製備受期待的第二張專輯,這是兩位製作人十年來頭一次合作。「山姆小鎮」大部分在拉斯維加斯的Studio at the Palms錄製,並在2006年6月於倫敦的Criterion Studios完成最後的點綴。當專輯完成時,Brandon Flowers表示他認為樂團創造了一張「過去二十年來最佳的專輯之一」,而他希望這張專輯捕捉「所有讓他站上現在這個位置的一切」。2006年7月,主打單曲「When You Were Young」首次播出馬上成了一首熱門,並得到另外兩項葛萊美獎提名以及多數的正面評價。

殺手樂團的第二張專輯「山姆小鎮」在2006年8月由Island Def Jam Music Group發行。有些評論讚揚此專輯以及樂團的演變,有些則批評或嘲諷。其中值得注意的是滾石雜誌的嚴厲評論。此專輯在首週售出70萬張,達到美國告示牌排行榜第二名、英國排行榜第一名。在英國得到5x白金認證,在愛爾蘭得到4x白金,在澳洲、加拿大、紐西蘭得到2x白金,在美國得到白金,在阿根廷、比利時、德國、俄羅斯得到金色認證。

殺手樂團為了節目「Live from Abbey Road」在2006年11月29日於艾比路錄音室(Abbey Road Studios)錄製現場演出,幾乎是不插電演奏。演出歌曲包含專輯同名曲「Sam's Town」、「When You Were Young」以及翻唱Dire Straits的著名曲「Romeo and Juliet」。2006年12月樂團發行了聖誕節歌曲「A Great Big Sled」,銷售收入將會幫助Product Red,這也成為了樂團每年的傳統。

2007年2月,殺手樂團參加了英國全英音樂獎(BRIT Awards),他們在那演出了「When You Were Young」。樂隊獲得了兩個獎項:最佳國際集團和國際專輯。在同一個月,樂隊的Tim Burton為該專輯的第二首單曲「Bones」所製作的音樂錄影帶在NME大獎中獲得了最佳影片獎。

樂團在山姆小鎮巡迴演出(Sam's Town Tour)的休息期間在日本東京錄製了該專輯的第三張單曲「Read My Mind」的音樂錄影帶。單曲發行時伴隨著寵物店男孩(Pet Shop Boys)的混音。由於門票需求量日益遽增,殺手樂團首次進軍了包括麥迪遜廣場花園在內的各個場館,並在2007年在多場歐洲重要的音樂節中演出,其中包括格拉斯頓伯里藝術節(Glastonbury Festival)。

截至2017年7月,The Killers已售出530萬份「聲名大噪」(Hot Fuss)和「山姆小鎮」(Sam's Town)。

殺手樂團於2007年11月發行了一張名為「深藏不露」(Sawdust)的合輯專輯,其中包括該樂團前兩張專輯,稀有和未發行材料的B面。「深藏不露」被歸類為英國的白金唱片。這張專輯的第一首歌曲「Tranquilize」是與Lou Reed合作的單曲,於2007年10月發行。這張專輯的特色還包括Joy Division的「Shadowplay」封面,「Shadowplay」是為Anton Corbijn執導的傳記片「Control」所錄製的。

2007–2011:歲月(Day & Age) 以及休團[編輯]

殺手樂團請Stuart Price製作他們的第三張錄音室專輯,在此之前他曾以Jacques Lu Cont的藝名對殺手樂團的歌曲進行混音,其中最著名的是「Mr. Brightside」。 樂團於2007年在Stuart Price位於倫敦的家中與他第一次見面,並討論為樂團B面專輯「深藏不露」製作一些未發行曲目的可能性。同一天晚上,他們在Stuart Price的錄音室錄製了一段新歌「Human」的試錄帶,它最終成為了專輯「歲月」的主打單曲。在完成「山姆小鎮」巡演後,團員們分開了六個月的時間,在此期間他們透過Logic Pro與彼此和製作人Stuart Price之間傳遞歌曲的點子和想法。樂隊在拉斯維加斯(Las Vegas)收購了錄音室「Battle Born Studios」並與Stuart Price一起完成了專輯的錄製。

「Human」在2008年8月發行,主唱Brandon Flowers形容這首歌就像「Johnny Cash遇上了Pet Shop Boys」。這首歌在世界各地成了一首熱門歌曲,其中"Are we human, or are we dancer?"這段歌詞因為其文法和用字造成了一些混淆及討論,有些人認為歌詞應該是"dancers"或是"denser",而非"dancer"。Brandon Flowers解釋道這段歌詞是受到Hunter S. Thompson語錄的啟發,Thompson表示「美國正在培養一整個世代的舞者」(America was raising "a generation of dancers")。而這段歌詞也被票選為有史以來最令人混淆的歌詞。

殺手樂團的第三張專輯「歲月」(Day & Age)在2008年11月18日發行。Brandon Flowers表示「歲月」就像是從火星上看著「山姆小鎮」,運用了許多薩克斯風、鋼鼓、大鍵琴,他們稱此專輯為最玩樂最有趣的專輯。此專輯也見證了樂團寫下迄今為止最私人和生活中最艱難的歌詞。結尾歌曲「Goodnight, Travel Well」是關於吉他手Dave Keuning母親的離世,「A Dustland Fairytale」則是獻給主唱Brandon Flowers的父母,他的母親在這期間被診斷出罹患了末期癌症。「歲月」成為了樂團第三張登上英國和愛爾蘭排行榜第一名的專輯,以及在Billboard 200專輯榜上登上第六名。專輯在英國及愛爾蘭獲得4x白金認證,在德國、澳洲、紐西蘭、加拿大獲得白金認證,在美國、墨西哥、瑞典、挪威、奧地利、瑞士、希臘、以及中東獲得金認證。

接著,樂團踏上了「歲月世界巡迴演出」(Day & Age World Tour),這期間他們在五大洲演出並首次登上Lollapalooza和Coachella。這次巡迴被提名為2009年前五大全球巡迴演唱會。殺手樂團在2009年7月5-6日於皇家阿爾伯特音樂廳(Royal Albert Hall)錄製他們第一部現場錄影帶,名叫「皇家阿爾伯特音樂廳現場」(Live from the Royal Albert Hall)。錄影帶在11月發行並在全球許多電影院中上映。「皇家阿爾伯特音樂廳現場」在英國收到了2x白金認證,在美國和澳洲收到白金認證,以及在愛爾蘭和巴西收到金認證。

在過去六年來樂團大多時間經常在巡迴演出的旅途上,於是在2010年他們宣布他們將暫停並稍作休息。休團持續了大約一年半的時間,在這期間團員們各個投入自己的個人計劃。在與腦癌戰鬥了兩年後,Brandon Flowers的母親於2010年2月過世,為此,樂團取消了亞洲、雪梨、伯斯的演唱會,不過墨爾本和黃金海岸的場次則照常進行。歲月世界巡迴演終於在2月21於墨爾本費萊明頓賽馬場的Good Vibrations音樂節來到了結尾。

2011–2013:樂團回歸 以及 光榮戰役(Battle Born)[編輯]

樂團在2011年4月2日於智利聖地亞哥新舉辦的國際Lollapalooza音樂節重回舞台。也在2011年4月30日於奧地利伊施格爾的滑雪季閉幕演唱會上演出。他們於2011年4月30日再度成為倫敦海德公園Hard Rock Calling演唱會的重頭戲。殺手樂團也為2011年11月12日第一次舉辦的奧蘭多Calling音樂節擔任壓軸樂團。

樂團於當年回到了錄音室錄製他們的第四張專輯,在錄製期間他們與Steve Lillywhite、 Damian Taylor、Brendan O'Brien、Stuart Price以及Daniel Lanois等五位不同的製作人共事。在2012年6月,殺手樂團的官方VEVO頁面上發表了一段預告片,透露了以內華達州旗上格言命名的新專輯:光榮戰役 (Battle Born)。首支單曲「Runaways」接著在7月發行,而在當月,殺手樂團就在達拉威爾州多佛的Firefly音樂節上演出。

殺手樂團的第四張專輯「光榮戰役」(Battle Born)在2012年9月18日發行,並也成為該樂團第四張連續登上英國及愛爾蘭排行榜第一名的專輯。這張專輯在英國獲得白金認證,在愛爾蘭、墨西哥、澳洲獲得金認證。「光榮戰役世界巡迴演唱會」也證明了它是殺手樂團至今遍及最多國家的巡演,包括中國及俄羅斯這兩個在此之前從未曾演出過的國家。此次巡演的收入在2013年中其他所有世界巡演裡排行第43位。在2013年6月22日,殺手樂團在溫布利足球場舉辦至今以來最大型的演唱會,場地容納九萬人,此次演唱會受到極度好評。而樂團也再度於歐洲、澳洲、南/北美洲參與各地的音樂節。殺手樂團於2013年10月在他們的家鄉拉斯維加斯首次舉辦的Life Is Beautiful音樂節中擔任壓軸樂團。

2013–2016:十年輝煌(Direct Hits)[編輯]

2013年9月11日樂團在推特貼了一張照片,這張照片裡有六行的摩斯密碼,內容是「The Killers Shot at the Night」。而在9月16日,正好是樂團十年前在倫敦首次演出的日子,他們發行了「Shot at the Night」,製作人是Anthony Gonzalez。樂團也透露他們將發行第一張精選輯:「十年輝煌」(Direct Hits)在2013年11月11日發行。此專輯收錄了前四張裡的熱門歌曲、新單曲Shot at the Night以及新歌「Just Another Girl」。樂團為此次專輯的發行做了較短的宣傳巡演,並也在2014年裡數個音樂節中登台演出。

殺手樂團於2016年4月6日在位於賭城大道上的T-Mobile Arena的開幕典禮中擔任主秀。樂團在演出期間有許多嘉賓的加入,包括「賭城先生」Wayne Newton以及藍人組。2016年5月24日,樂團宣布貝斯手Mark Stoermer將暫時離開以追求教育目標和發行個人專輯。公告中也強調Mark Stoermer還是會一同參與專輯的製作,也偶爾會隨樂團現場演出。在Mark Stoermer離開的期間,擔任巡演鍵盤手/吉他手的Jake Blanton遞補了貝斯手的位置。2016年9月30日和10月1日,殺手樂團在山姆城賭場飯店(Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall)表演兩個晚上以慶祝他們第二張專輯「山姆小鎮」的十週年紀念。在這兩場演出中他們把整張專輯從頭到尾唱了一遍,樂團還唱了一首名叫「Mixed Signals」歌,向Robbie Williams致敬。

2017–2018:完美境界(Wonderful Wonderful)[編輯]

殺手樂團在2017年9月22日發表了他們的第五張專輯「完美境界」(Wonderful Wonderful)。這張專輯由Jacknife Lee製作,首發單曲「The Man」在2017六月14日發行。在專輯發行之前,樂團在歐洲數個音樂節表演,包括了一個在Glastonbury音樂節的神祕場次,原本在休息的Mark Stoermer也一同在John Peel Stage(該音樂節最具指標性的舞台)上演出。John Peel Stage也是樂團13年前在Glastonbury音樂節中首次登場的舞台。樂團在倫敦海德公園British Summer Time音樂節的演出也座無虛席。

殺手樂團在2017年8月28日宣布Mark Stoermer及Dave Keuning都不會參加接下來的「完美境界世界巡演」,但強調兩位依然是樂團成員。Jake Blanton將依舊擔任貝斯,而Dave Keuning的位置將由Ted Sablay代替。樂團也新加入了兩位巡演的音樂人:鍵盤手Robbie Connolly及吉他手Taylor Milne。

American rock band the Killers have released seven studio albums, one live album, four compilation albums, one extended play, 42 singles, four promotional singles, and 39 music videos. Part of the post-punk revival movement, the Killers are influenced by music styles of the 1980s and 1990s. The band has sold over 28 million records worldwide.[1] The group's debut album, Hot Fuss (2004), brought the band mainstream success, spawning four UK top-20 singles, including "Mr. Brightside". The album has since been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and seven-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI),[2][3] selling seven million copies worldwide.[4]

The Killers' second studio album, Sam's Town, was released in October 2006, being met initially by mixed reviews but nonetheless proving a commercial success, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 with opening sales of 315,000 units, and going on to be certified platinum by the RIAA.[5] In the UK, the album debuted atop the chart and went on to be certified five-times platinum by the BPI.[3] The compilation album Sawdust was released in November 2007, containing B-sides, rarities, and new material.

The band's third album, Day & Age, produced by Stuart Price, was released in November 2008 and spawned the commercially successful single "Human", described by Brandon Flowers as "our biggest song, pound for pound".[6] Day & Age proved a commercial success in Europe, was certified Gold by the RIAA.[2] Their fourth album, Battle Born, was released in September 2012, becoming the band's fourth consecutive album to reach number one in both the UK and Ireland.[7]

In November 2013, in celebration of their first decade together, the band released their first greatest hits album, titled Direct Hits, a contractual requirement with their record label.[8] The compilation features two new tracks, including "Shot at the Night", produced by Anthony Gonzalez of M83. In September 2017, the Killers released their fifth studio album, Wonderful Wonderful, becoming the band's fifth consecutive album to top the UK Albums Chart,[9] as well as their first number-one album on the US Billboard 200.[10] In August 2020, the band released their sixth studio album, Imploding the Mirage, becoming the band's sixth consecutive album to top the UK Albums Chart and their highest rated by critics in the aggregate.

In August 2021, the band released their seventh studio album, Pressure Machine, and have begun work on recording an eighth.[11][12]
