Brandon Flowers Showcases Solo Album At Intimate London Gig

The Killers' Brandon Flowers showcased his debut solo album at an intimate gig in London tonight (September 8).

The singer played a host of songs from 'Flamingo', as well as tracks by The Killers and Elvis Presley during the 60-minute set at The Garage.

Flowers, who was watched by a small crowd that included Mark Ronson, looked anxious as huge cheers greeted his arrival on stage.

But after completing opener 'On The Floor', he visibly relaxed during a rendition of recent single 'Crossfire'.

"Well thank you very much," he told the crowd of mainly competition winners.

"It's strange because this is the first time we've played since the record has come out, so it's exciting to see people that have heard a few of the songs."

The gig at The Garage marked a return of sorts for Flowers, who played at the venue with The Killers in 2003.

The singer was backed by a full band, as well as two female singers throughout the gig.

His set also included 'Hard Enough' and 'Swallow It' from his new album, as well as a cover of Kim Carnes 'Bette Davies Eyes'. The Las Vegas singer also played a brief rendition of Elvis's 'Are You Lonesome Tonight', which fused into 'Only The Young'.

Flowers, who grew more animated as the gig progressed, joked at one point that his solo music was "milder" than many of the songs the crowd were used to seeing him play with The Killers.

After briefly leaving the stage, the singer returned along with a guitarist to close his set with an acoustic version of The Killers hit, 'When You Were Young'.
