The Killers’ tour has been full of beautiful moments like Erasure joining the band on stage for some songs and openers Travis bringing out Brandon Flowers for an Aztec Camera cover. Tonight at London’s O2 Arena, the Las Vegas group paused the show so fans could watch England’s Euro 2024 Semifinal win.
I don’t care much about sports and I’m not British, but the videos circulating online prove this was the textbook definition of a beautiful moment. Ollie Wakins scored a thrilling goal in the 90th minute, a blast of confetti ensued, and “Mr. Brightside” kicked in. That’s gotta be a crazy dopamine release. Watch footage below.

While they were in town, the Killers were presented with some Guinness World Records for “Mr Brightside” — longest stay on UK singles chart by a group and most cumulative weeks on UK singles chart.
