They've apparently cancelled a run of shows in Asia, and apparently they have now split up?! I googled it and the rumours seem to be true, I HOPE I AM WRONG!! SURELY THIS CAN'T BE TRUE?!?! :-O

[laid back in the sun]

From the Killers web site.....

Quote

The Killers have been forced to cancel their appearances in Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo and Seoul due to unforeseen circumstances. The band deeply apologizes to their fans and hope to reschedule their shows in these cities soon. At this time the bands Australian appearances remain scheduled as planned.

So they are still playing Australia...

they are taking an "hiatus" though, they announced it the other day.

I'll see if I can find the article

They ain't splitting up officially, but are going on a hiatus, why I have only got to see them once, I think its probably the best thing for them. I like them but they have become slightly over exposed so a nice 2/3 year break then come back with a stunning album would be good.

maybe they can come back and be less dull in a few years.

Interesting! Didn't see that coming.

Yea I'd agree with this, think they have gone off the boil since and including there last album.  They need go take some ket for a few years and come back with something smashing!

IT'S ON GOOGLE?

IT MUST BE TRUE!!!

never mind the fact they have said the dates will be rescheduled and also the fact they are still playing the Australian dates.

believe me i wish they would split up but there is no way we are that fortunate!

They get the sunshine, the beaches, decent sportsmen & Holly Valance.  They deserve some bad luck too...

[tweemo freak]

It is a hiatus , not a full- blown split-up. Personally i love there first two but the third one was                  so maybe a little time off will get them back to sanity      .

[rexclark]

Can't say I'd really give a shit if they decided to split.

They're only human .. or are are they dancers?

I'm a massive killers fan, i guess I made that clear. But yeah i agree their last album was pretty poor but still LOVE hot fuss and sam's town. So glad to hear they haven't split up!! An incredible fourth album after a few years off would be great!!! At least a saw them live this summer before their 'hiatus' :-)

They peaked at Glasto n Leeds in 05 for me !

I saw em in the new bands tent at Glasto in 2004 cos I got in early so I could get a good
spot for Hope of the States

Strange how things work out !
