The Killers are NOT splitting! | livemusic.fm

It seems that no matter how many times people spread these rumours about The Killers splitting, they just won't take the hint. The band have been performing in Australia this week, where an offhand comment about these being their last gigs "for a while" got blown out of proportion. So much so they felt the need to formally assure fans that there we no plans to "go on a break" once the current tour is completed. Which is just as well, given the closing dates of that tour have just been cancelled. In their first statement, issued prior to the cancellations, a band spokesperson said: "They are all looking forward to some time off at the end of this tour as they have been on the road for a long time, but there are no plans for an indefinite hiatus". Then yesterday it was announced that this weekend's shows would have to be postponed: "The Killers had hoped that the Australian leg of their current world tour would be completed as planned, but due to the severity of the illness of a close family member, they regretfully announce the cancellation of their Sydney Enmore show as well as their shows at Good Vibrations Festival".
