Brandon Flowers named solo album release date

The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers finally announced release date for his debut solo album Flamingo. The record is set to hit the stores on September 14. It will be preceded by the lead single named Crossfire that is set to be unveiled on August 23.

Brandon Flowers recorded Flamingo in collaboration with a number of famous producers – Stuart Price (Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Keane, Scissor Sisters), Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel) and Brendan O'Brien (Aerosmith, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen).

Brandon Flowers recently revealed that some tracks from Flamingo were originally written for the next The Killers’ album, but as long as the band announced indefinite hiatus, he decided to record them himself.

«I would prefer if this was The Killers record, although it would obviously be very different if I'd made it with the rest of the band. We're just at different places in our lives right now», claimed he.

Flowers added: «It's definitely not the end of The Killers, but you can't blame the others – we've been going non-stop since 2003».

The Killers’ last to date album Day&Age was released in 2008.
