HISTORY:
The Killers is a 21st century synth rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, who formed in 2002. Lead singer and keyboardist Brandon Flowers was inspired to start the band in part after seeing Oasis perform at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in April 2002. The band first started playing at a Las Vegas gay/transgender night club called "Tramps". They released their hit record Hot Fuss in 2004.
CONTROVERSY:
The Killers, as a band, are known for boylove (suggestive homoerotic play between bandmembers) onstage, as well as for their gigs in a drag club in Vegas.
The lyrics to "Andy, You're a Star," the androgyny of "Somebody Told Me," Flowers's apparent metrosexuality, and the band's considerable gay following have all led to speculation that Flowers is either gay or bisexual. He was also seen holding hands with another male outside of an early gig in Las Vegas. In response to such speculation, Flowers said that "Andy, You're a Star" was "free for people to interpret as their own," in a Genre 2005 interview. This contradicts an earlier statement made in a QLas Vegas interview during 2004, wherein he claimed it was about a crush he himself had formed on a male athlete while attending high school. Flowers has also stated that some confusion over his sexual identity is "not a bad thing," but did say "I'm not gay"
