Watch The Killers Play ‘Mr. Brightside’ Right When England Won the UEFA Euro Semifinal Game
The Killers took over The O2 in London on Wednesday night (July 10), and the rock group got to treat their English fans to a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
In videos circulating social media, the band is seen pausing their show to air the end of the England vs. Netherland semifinal game for UEFA Euro 2024. Right as England took home the win with a score of 2-1, red and white confetti was shot into the crowd at the O2 for celebration, and The Killers delved straight into one of their biggest hits, “Mr. Brightside.”
England will now be going to their second successive European Championship final, and they’ll be going up against Spain on Sunday (July 14).
The Killers, meanwhile, will be hosting a series of special residency shows in Las Vegas later this summer. The band consisting of vocalist Brandon Flowers, guitarist Dave Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic debut album, Hot Fuss, by performing the record in full for the first time ever during their residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Hot Fuss, released in 2004, yielded the hit singles “Mr. Brightside”, “Somebody Told Me”, “All These Things That I’ve Done” and “Smile Like You Mean It.” The album peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 albums chart upon its release.
