Statement from The Killers

February 10, 2010

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.

    It's hard to add to the incredible sentiments already expressed without seeming insincere, but here goes:

    Dustland Fairytale was one of the most beautiful songs that you've ever wirtten, Brandon. You can see how much your mother inspired you and how much you loved her. She will be missed. Love to you at this awful time.

    Brandon - I know there's nothing anyone can do or say to change things for you. I just pray that it won't be too long before you can enjoy memories of your Mum without that awful, heart-wrenching pain of loss. I wish you and your family well. See you again whenever you're ready, be happy - love Caz x

    Would like to believe that it isn't bias that's leading me to believe that Flamingo is Brandon's finest work to date.
