The Killershave released their first new song of 2023 — and they’re ready to get fans grooving.
Both desire and heartache pulsate throughout the song, as Flowers, 42, is nearly spinning out, still pining for a former lover who’s moved on.

“I’m hanging on your side of town / I notice when you’re not around / Can’t keep my cool, I’m burning inside / A broken heartbeat, barely alive,” the “Shot at the Night” singer wails in highly-produced vocals over the synth-pop chorus.
The “Mr. Brightside” musicians arecurrently on tour, playing a run of festival dates. After performances in the U.K. and Ireland in late August and early September, they’ll return to North America to play festivals such as Bourbon & Beyond, Life is Beautiful and Ohana Festival, as well as several headlining solo shows on the West Coast.

The Killers then issuedan apology on Facebook.
“Good people of Georgia, it was never our intention to offend anyone! We have a longstanding tradition of inviting people to play drums and it seemed from the stage that the initial response from the crowd indicated that they were okay with tonight’s audience participation member coming onstage with us,” the statement said.
The band continued, “We recognize that a comment, meant to suggest that all of The Killers’ audience and fans are ‘brothers and sisters,’ could be misconstrued. We did not mean to upset anyone and we apologize. We stand with you and hope to return soon.”
