主唱Brandon曾眼中闪着光芒说道：“我们想要成为美国的U2”，结果功夫不负苦心人！The Killers出道不到4个月就获得2005格莱美奖及全英音乐奖共5项提名，创作大碟《Hot Fuss》拿下英国金榜双周冠军、billboard流行专辑榜第8名，并受到U2的Bono，David Bowie，Duran Duran等人高度赞赏，摇滚爵士Elton John在巴黎宣传时特别邀请他们一起上电视节目，更是公开表示“这是我最爱的乐队”。

2016年2月Elton John透露他计划赴拉斯维加斯与乐队一起筹备下一张专辑的制作。5月，乐队宣布成员Mark Stoermer在个人事业上会有所突破，但仍然与其他成员一起筹备新专辑的录制。

The Killers are an American rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2001, by Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards) and Dave Keuning (guitar, backing vocals). Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion) would complete the current line-up of the band in 2002. The name The Killers is derived from a logo on the bass drum of a fictitious band, portrayed in the music video for the New Order song "Crystal".

The group has released four chart topping studio albums: ‘Hot Fuss’ (2004), ‘Sam's Town’ (2006), ‘Day & Age’ (2008) and ‘Battle Born’ (2012). They have also released a B-sides and rarities compilation, Sawdust (2007); a live album, ‘Live from the Royal Albert Hall’ (2009); and a greatest hits album ‘Direct Hits’ (2013).

The Killers are seen as one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century, and the most successful rock act to ever emerge from the state of Nevada, having sold an estimated 22 million albums worldwide. They have achieved worldwide success as a live band, performing in over fifty countries and on six continents, headlining venues such as Madison Square Garden and Wembley Stadium.

The release of ‘Direct Hits’ was followed by a short promotional tour, the band also played a number of festivals in 2014.On December 1, 2014, the band released "Joel the Lump of Coal". The single features late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. The song marks the ninth consecutive year in which the band has released a Christmas song. All proceeds went to AIDS charities as part of the Product Red campaign.

In 2015 the Killers headlined the inaugural Kaaboo Festival in San Diego as well as the Firefly Music Festival in Delaware. In September 2015, the Killers played at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, the Killers' home town.

In an October 2015 interview with Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2, Brandon Flowers remarked that in a ‘perfect world’ the band would be releasing new material in late 2016, and appeared to indicate that the Killers would follow a schedule similar to that of ‘Battle Born’. According to Flowers in a later interview with ‘Loaded’, the band are currently working with Flood and Alan Moulder on their fifth studio album, and had been working on a potential new track titled "Look Alive". The frontman has spoken of developing a ‘powerful rock vibe’ for the group's fifth album. In February 2016, Elton John revealed he plans to go to Las Vegas and write with the band for their upcoming album.

On May 24, 2016, the band announced that Mark Stoermer was taking a break from touring "to pursue other educational goals and releasing a solo album." The statement emphasized that Stoermer was still involved in working on the band's fifth album, and that he may still occasionally perform live with them in the future.
