Flowers dismisses Killers rift rumours

The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has denied rumours of a rift between himself and drummer Ronnie Vannucci.

The singer had sparked speculation of discontent among the band earlier this year after admitting that he had fantasies about beating up Vannucci on stage.

Speaking to NME, he said: "It's not true. I mean tensions come and go but at the moment everybody's being pretty nice to each other.

"We disagree about everything from what a single is going to be, to how many days off we are gonna have per week. We go through all that stuff. The band is a democracy and in a perfect world you'd have the same four answers. But the fact is, we don't."

Vannucci added: "There is a happy, homey feel in the band lately. I can confirm there have been no fights."
