My dad was a produce man. He worked in grocery stores for 35 years. My mom just babysat kids and raised us. I have four sisters and one brother. I'm the baby. Brandon Flowers babybabysatbrother Change image and share on social
The thing that's really kept me on my toes is how my mom would always tell me - it's not the best thing for a mother to tell you - but she'd never tell me after I'd lose a soccer game, 'You'll do better next time.' She'd always say, 'There's always somebody better.' Brandon Flowers gamelosemom share on social
At home, I'm not a rock star. I wear dad-appropriate attire. I drive a truck. And we go out to the mountains to light fires and have barbecues. Even then, The Killers are usually in the back of my mind. Brandon Flowers attirebackbarbecue share on social
I grew up with 'best-of' cassettes. My first Smiths record was 'Hatful Of Hollow,' and I had hits albums by Elton John and The Cars. Brandon Flowers albumcarcassette Change image and share on social
'Human' was controversial within The Killers way before it was controversial to the rest of the world! It caused some problems within the band. Not to throw anybody under the bus, but it was pretty much me and Dave against Mark and Ronnie for a little while. We were standing up for the song. Brandon Flowers bandbuscause share on social
I believe in God. It's a big part of my life. You can bring it up and talk about it without being 'Christian Rocker.' Brandon Flowers bigbringchristian Change image and share on social
I live a normal life. But I'm always thinking about what I'm going to do next, musically. 'Do I need a fresh producer? What was Peter Gabriel doing when he was 32?' Brandon Flowers freshgabriellife Change image and share on social
When the Killers first came out, a lot of people thought we were English, and it touched a chord in me, because my roots are very American. Brandon Flowers americanchordenglish Change image and share on social
Actually, I was born in Las Vegas. My parents moved to Utah when I was eight because, after 40 years in Vegas, they were tired of it. We ended up in Nephi, a really small town in Utah. Brandon Flowers bearendmove Change image and share on social
I'm not sure how young kids get to the point where they're memorizing and knowing songs, but I knew the words to 'Missing You' from John Waite probably from when I was three years old. For whatever reason, that was the song that I gravitated toward when it was on the radio and I was driving around with my mom. Brandon Flowers drivegravitatejohn share on social
