The Killers have spoken to NME about the fact that they were briefly covered by Robbie Williams during his part of the Live 8 proceedings. The Killers only played one song at the event (Shame! Shame!) but later Robbie inserted the refrain "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier' into his performance. Frontman Brandon Flowers said: "I heard about that, but I didn't get to hear it. I'm glad he liked it. I didn't know it was going to happen, I've never met him, but it was cool - it's nice of him."
On his previously reported guest performance with New Order at T In The Park, he added: "That was amazing. I'd never even seen a full set of theirs before, so that was perfect for me."
