Brandon Flowers has revealed that The Killers' eighth studio album is expected to arrive in 2027, following the release of his two solo albums. The frontman described the upcoming record as 'the best Killers record' in a recent interview.
Flowers confirmed that he has completed two solo albums, with the first almost mixed. Both are set to be released before the next Killers project, likely in 2026. He described the solo work as a departure from his previous efforts, blending a 'romantic' and 'narrative' South West sound.
The delay in the band's next album is attributed to extensive touring. After completing 90-plus shows for 'Imploding The Mirage' in 2022, the band played 65 gigs in 2023 and celebrated 20 years of 'Hot Fuss' in 2024. Flowers noted that this schedule 'wiped out 2024 and 2025'.
When asked about the style of the new album, Flowers said it is too early to specify, but emphasised that it must be exceptional: 'We will not put it out unless it is the best.' He also clarified that the 2022 single 'Boy' will not set the direction for the record.
