The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has announced details of his solo album, called Flamingo.

 

The news comes after recent speculation that the band are to split, and a previously issued statement denying that Flowers would quit the group to embark on a solo career.

 

The announcement was made following a countdown clock that appeared on the band's website, eventually revealing the title of the LP.

 

More details expected to be released within the next few weeks.

Oooft. Interesting! I really hope it's not the end for the band though :( I need me some Killers! And I need to see them live at least ONCE! :cry:

This is great news, i can't wait to hear a solo album, will buy this for sure.

I doubt it will be the end of the band though, they are on a break for now.

Im lookoing forward to hearing his solo stuff and see what sound he takes, and if the music is good i hope it does well, although i hope this doesnt come at the cost of the band as i would hate the killers to split, as a group they produce fantastic music, and give fantastic live performances and have had huge sucess, id like that streak to continue for many years yet.

Thanks for posting! ^_^

 

And yes, I hope it's only a rumor and we´re having The Killers for a while, I seriously need to see them live too! :(

 

Now, Brandon + solo ambum, sounds exciting already :wub:

Wonder where the title Flamingo came from. Yes i know it is a bird :lol:

Did he have writers block and randomly ask his kids?

I've signed up to get info about it when it comes, i never get e-mails so it'll be nice to recieve one or two.

 

 

Also, could that little music clip on his site be part of a song form his album? it's quite chilled.

GAH! Soooo excited! Stuart Price again. He's going to be producer of the moment again isn't he? :heehee:

No wonder, he is amazing

We would expect nothing less from the man.

Thats true, but sometimes i find band members who solo projects can often end up disapointing, i hope that doesnt happen here.

I'm fairly confident it wont

Some more apparantly confirmed songs (from wiki so maybe not true)

Hopefully, If it's out late summer/ early autumn then we shouold hear something August time

Apparantly, Crossfire will be the first single.

Grrr. They better hurry and leak a clip or something. I don't know how much longer I can wait now I know there's going to be something new available soon! haha.
