The follow-up to 2020\u2019s acclaimed \u2018Imploding The Mirage\u2018 is \u201ccoming this year\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a fan Q&amp;A on Instagram Live, the Las Vegas indie rockers have shed some light on when to expect the album.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI mean it\u2019s finished, yeah. We\u2019re basically in the mastering phase,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> said frontman Brendon Flowers.<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt will come out this year. We were hoping for an early summer release, but the vinyl manufacturing companies are all inundated with the artists who held their albums back because of COVID. Now they\u2019re all trying to get their albums out and are making this push. We want to release everything simultaneously, so we\u2019re running into a wall.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He continued: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt will be [released] this year, and it is finished.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. added: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt gives us time to make tweaks. It\u2019s good and it\u2019s different. I want to explore talking about the record, but we were told not to let the cat out of the bag too much.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The announcement comes after The Killers recently broke a UK chart record with their \u2018Hot Fuss\u2019 breakthrough single \u2018Mr Brightside\u2019, having spent 260 non-consecutive weeks in the top 100 of the UK singles chart since its re-release in 2004 \u2013 and having remained firmly in the top 100 for the last five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Killers will embark on their rescheduled UK and Ireland stadium tour in summer 2022. They will be joined by special guests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/manic-street-preachers-tickets\">Manic Street Preachers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The band had initially been set out to hit the road in summer 2020, before those dates were delayed to this year and set to kick off in May 2021. However, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and with mass outdoor gatherings currently not set to return in the UK until June 21, the gigs have now been rescheduled until next summer \u2013 with an extra show added in Falkirk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check out the full info. about The Killers\u2019 tour dates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/the-killers-tickets\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Killers have confirmed that they are almost done working on their new album.
