Flowers explains moustache loss

The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has explained why he shaved off his moustache.

Flowers told the Daily Star that he didn't believe his facial hair suited the band's new album Day & Age.

"I decided that the person who sang these songs didn't wear a moustache," he said.

Drummer Ronnie Vannucci confessed that he was initially sceptical about hiring producer Madonna's producer Stuart Price to oversee their new record, but was surprised by the results.

"I was like: 'Oh f**k, it's all gonna be programmed beats and stuff,' but he was like the antithesis of the electronic rock dude - he loves organic instruments."

Flowers added: "There's something cosmic and galactic about what [Price] does, I think."
