My favorite non-hipster band probably is The Killers. So I deliver the message that they are not breaking up, with a great big smile. When I last posted about the Las Vegas rock stars, it seemed like they were! So…it was comforting to see the following official statement posted on The Killers website:
The Killers had hoped that the Australian leg of their current tour would be completed as planned, but due to the severity of the illness of a close family member, they regretfully announce the cancellation of their Sydney Enmore show as well as their shows at Good Vibrations Festival Sydney and Good Vibrations Festival Perth this weekend. The band apologizes to their Australian fans and asks for their understanding. The Killers still intend to perform at the Good Vibrations Festival’s Gold Coast and Melbourne shows next weekend. The Killers would also like to take this opportunity to assure their fans that any concerns about the future of the band are unfounded. They are all looking forward to some time off at the end of this tour as they have been on the road for a long time, but there are no plans for an indefinite hiatus.
Sa-weeeet. Hopefully this time off will allow the band to come back fresh and give us some more epic jams.
