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 went to high school with girls that would daydream about what strip club they wanted to work at. That's one of the sad things about Vegas. Brandon Flowers clubdaydreamgirl Change image and share on social
There's always an excitement around the Strip whenever something new being built. It was always the biggest and the best hotel or, you know, over-the-top things. And so, family would be coming in from out of town, and it was such a thrill to be showing them this, you know, erupting new volcano or whatever it was. Brandon Flowers bigbuildcome share on social
I romanticize. I live with the ghosts of Elvis and Frank Sinatra. It seems so glamorous. They were American men who don't exist anymore. But there are ugly things about them, too. Brandon Flowers americananymoreelvis 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.'

You can't save the world with music. But I can try. I have the same job as Bruce Springsteen. I have to go as far as I can with it. Brandon Flowers brucejobmusic Change image and share on social

People misinterpret my emotions towards Nirvana because I've said things about how something happened with grunge that took a little bit of fun out of things. It's no offense to Nirvana; they were one of the greats, obviously. But something died there, too, and we haven't quite gotten the groove back. Brandon Flowers backbitedie share on social
