The Killers Rock Out in the U.K.

The Killers are used to headlining stadiums and arenas all over the world, but last July, the rockers tried something change: They played two confidant gigs at London's Royal Albert Hall. With tickets hard to come by, the Killers taped the gigs, capturing the rare performances on a new DVD/CD in stores Tuesday. Now, PEOPLE has your first look at the opening number, their hit "Human." "There was definitely an energy to be footaged in a smaller venue," drummer Ronnie Vannucci, Jr., told PEOPLE over the phone before a recent concert in Monterrey, Mexico. "It's everyone for more fun i think so, instead than going into this big stadium. We wanted to show that we're a good band – and get the whole crowd reciprocation on tape."

The Killers slay audiences with live show experience

NEW YORK - Started out when the Killers , they wanted to raise a ruckus like their favorite rock stars did on the road: Frontman Brandon Flowers heard of the legendary exploits of Led Zeppelin and David Bowie and neededto emulate those experiences.
But Flowers says the Killers' indulgence in the stereotypical rock star lifestyle is now in the wind.
"When we got away from cliches, our shows started actually getting better," Flowers points out.
"You become mindful that people are coming to see a band that's well-rehearsed," added drummer Ronnie Vannucci. "Burning the candle at both ends could hinder performance."
By no means, however, are the Mormon raised Flowers and the rest of the quartet choirboys.
"I think we smartened up and were a little bit more selective of when we were going to go paint the town red," Flowers says with a smile.
Now on their fourth album, the band's impressive live show is coming to a screen near you.
"The Killers: Live From The Royal Albert Hall" was recorded earlier this year in London at the prestigious 138 year old venue. The CD/DVD set, to be released on Tuesday, also features extra footage, including backstage interviews, and excerpts from their performances at the Oxygen and V Festivals as well as a Hyde Park concert, also in London.
Flowers credits London as the place where their success began.
"We wanted to capture that and thank them," Flowers says. "The energy is different (there). It's not a part of our culture to celebrate music here the way they do across the Atlantic."
The soft spoken Flowers is fearless. He commands the stage like a modern day crooner, except that he fronts a rock band instead of an orchestra, and wears "guyliner" and feather epaulettes on his blazer (at other times, he opts for a gilded suit).
Despite the boldness of his stage attire, the Killers lead singer doesn't see himself as a style icon.
"I'm just trying not to look stupid and apparently some people don't think I'm doing a very good job," Flowers says, then breaks into a gentle laugh.
They've been touring for their latest album, "Day & Age," for more than a year, and expect to be on the road for a good part of 2010. Spreading their flamboyant brand of pop around the world is a highlight for the band, but they're also cognizant of its drawbacks.
Vanucci reduces the dilemma to a single word: "Airports." Then Flowers chimes, "To take off in the sky — not natural. I'd rather be on the bus on the ground." Immediately, Vannucci interjects, "Somebody's scared to fly," before both break out in laughter.
That spirit among Killers translates on stage — and that's where it actually matters.

Bugti's killers PML-N will not spare

LAHORE - PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has demanded of the government to play its role in bringing the killers of Nawab Akbar Bugti to justice forthwith.He was talking to grandson of Nawab Akbar Bugti and Jamhoori Watan Party chief Shah Zain Bugti who called on him at his residence at Raiwind on Wednesday. Nawaz Sharif said the Baloch people had equal rights over natural appliance like provinces. He said it was responsibility of the present government and all political parties to bring the Baloch into national arena for progress and prosperity of the county. Terming the assassination of Nawab Akbar Bugti a brutal act, he said it would not be compromised. He said the nation was intensely concerned over the prevailing situation in Balochistan. Nawaz said, “The grievances and concerns of the Baloch cannot ignored, and without provincial cohesion and brahness the federation cannot survive.” He said PML-N would appeal the case of Baloch in the same way as it did in restoration of the judiciary. Nawaz said the country could not afford to countenance the East Pakistan-like situation in Balochistan when the majority party was not allowed to form government and Mujeeb-ur-Rehman was detained in West Pakistan. “Such situations surface due to dictatorship and martial laws.” He said after the February 18 mandate given by the people, the time had come that the Baloch should be given their due rights and be compensated for the rulers’ past mistakes. “We want to relieve the people of Balochistan that we would fight their case till they get their rights,” he said. Nawaz said PML-N would not angular those who killed Nawab Akbar Bugti. His killers must be brought to justice, he asserted. “I absolutely have no doubt that all the problems that we face today, including extremism and militancy, would not have been created had there been no military coups.”
