Flowers blames Cobain for Killers' failure

The Killers' Brandon Flowers blames Kurt Cobain and grunge for taking the fun out of rock, which he says partly explains the weak US performance of 'Day & Age'.

Brandon Flowers has said that it's all Kurt Cobain's fault that The Killers' third album, 'Day & Age' hasn't done very well in America.

Speaking to The Daily Star, Flowers said: "I don't mean it in a bad way, but I think Kurt Cobain and grunge took the fun out of rock 'n roll. Everything's changing, though, and it's starting to become a lot more playful and brighter".

Yeah, that's right, 15 years after Kurt Cobain died, music is finally starting to change. Or maybe Kurt Cobain just highlighted that it's possible to record more than one good album.
