The Killers singer Brandon Flowers has unveiled details of his first solo album ‘Flamingo’.
Touring continually last year, The Killers were dogged by rumours of a split. Singer Brandon Flowers was said to be tiring of the constant grind of the road, and the frontman began working on his own material.
Announcing his debut solo album earlier this year, Brandon Flowers has now confirmed more details of its release. ‘Flamingo’ is due to be released this Autumn, and was produced by an all star cast including Stuart Price, Daniel Lanois and Brendan O’Brien.
Lanois of course is famed for his work with Bob Dylan and U2, while Stuart Price previously worked with The Killers. Brendan O’Brien meanwhile cut his teeth with Pearl Jam before recently working with Bruce Springsteen.
All three have helmed various aspects of the album, with Brandon Flowers confirming song titles such as ‘Hard Enough’ and ‘Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas’.
The album is set to contain a number of guest stars, with Brandon Flowers yet to reveal who formed the backing band. ‘Flamingo’ will boast an appearance from Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis, with other details set to be confirmed shortly.
The singer revealed his solo plans on The Killers official website, placing a countdown clock on the homepage. With ‘Flamingo’ due for release later this year, Brandon Flowers has confirmed initial plans to play a full UK solo tour as well as visiting the festival circuit next summer.
The Killers meanwhile are indulging in solo projects of their own, with some members forming a new group with elements of Keane, Mumford And Sons and more.
Brandon Flowers is set to release ‘Flamingo’ this Autumn.
