On August 26, 2010, The Killers lead singer Brandon Flowersmade his live solo debut in New York playing a sold out show at the Highline Ballroom. The brief 45 minute set showcased his solo album “Flamingo,” and featured mostly new songs.

Rumours of The Killers lead singer Brandon Flowers’ sexuality have been floating around since the beginning of his musical career. Sure, he’s Mormon. Sure, he has kids. In this day and age, that means nothing. I will love him no matter who he chooses to get down on his knees for.

Rumors have been circulating for the last 6 months about The Killers lead singer Brandon Flowers going solo and as usual with rumors, this one has turned out to be true. Details are hazy about his first solo project, but the Killers official website has announced the title of the record will be called “Flamingo.” I am hoping he does a Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) or Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) jump the shark – type of record. I guess we’ll all just have to stay tuned.
