The Killers 'use library for inspiration'

The Killers singer Brandon Flowers has revealed that he used his local library to beat writer's block.

The star, who hails from Las Vegas, read books to inspire him to write the group's latest album Day & Age.

"To be honest, I don't read a whole lot. I've been struggling with writing lyrics, so I've really been trying to pick up on it," he told newspaper The A.V Club.

"I read [Jack Kerouac's] On The Road for the first time while we were making this album.

"I'm a little late there, but it's been a whole new world for me."
