Brandon Flowers might be a killer

The Killers' Brandon Flowers tells GQ he once ran a drunk man over on the freeway, and discusses being a Mormon in rock.

The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers has admitted that he once ran someone over - and doesn't know if they survived or not. However, before you start calling him a killer, and everything, it really wasn't his fault, by the sound of things. He told GQ: "I hit him pretty fast, I was going about 50, he was drunk, he just walked into my lane on the freeway. I was honking and hitting the breaks but I couldn't stop in time. I hit him. It was terrible. Pretty traumatic. He hit my windshield, smashed it up... His shoes fell off. Their shoes fall off, did you know that?"

He added that he never found out what happened to the man, explaining: "They never told me what happened to him."

The band's second album, is, of course, out now. In the same interview, Flowers commented on the conflict between being rock, and being religious. Shit, I didn't know he was a Mormon. "I think Bob Dylan said you can't be a Mormon and be cool," he says, "But I don't know. I feel pretty cool sometimes."
