The killers
Brandon Flowers responded to an ad that Dave Keuning had placed in the paper in late 2001 whereupon they became The Killers. After several short-lived bassists and drummers, Flowers and Keuning were joined by bassist Mark Stoermer and drummer Ronnie Vannucci and the line up became official in August 2002.[4] They have since sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.[5][6] On July 4, 2010, The Killers headlined the "Salute to the Military" USO Concert at the White House. They performed 'God Bless America' and favorites from their catalogue.[7] On June 22, 2013, The Killers headlined the 90,000 capacity Wembley Stadium, their biggest show to date.[8] Canadian-American singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright wrote a song about Flowers called "Tulsa" for his fifth album Release the Stars. Wainwright has stated in numerous interviews that it was inspired by their first meeting in a bar in Tulsa, Oklahoma. According to Wainwright, Flowers was "very flattered and somewhat bashful" about this tribute.[9] Flowers has performed with Coldplay, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Andy Summers (of The Police), Pet Shop Boys, Fran Healy (of Travis), New Order, Bright Eyes, and Richard Butler (of Psychedelic Furs) amongst others. Sir Elton John has listed Flowers as one of his top-five heroes while editing The Independent's World Aids Day special edition.[10][11] U2's Bono

described Flowers' voice to The Globe and Mail saying, We need him on the radio.[12]
