The Killers Announce Indefinite Hiatus

In a recent interview with the Australian Associated Press, Killers guitarist Dave Keuning said that the Vegas glam-rockers’ Feb. 21 show in Melbourne will be their last—for a while, at least.

The news doesn’t come as such a surprise, as the Killers have been touring and recording virtually non-stop since they first started catching ears with “Somebody Told Me” in 2004. But, in the context of rumors that singer Brandon Flowers wants to go solo, it looks increasingly likely that “break” in this case might actually be short for “break-up.”

When asked whether the hiatus would be permanent, Keuning didn’t deliver the most convincing response: “Not as far as I know” he said. C’mon, Dave. Smile like you mean it.

Catch the Killers while you can, Asia and Australia.
