Brandon Flowers and co. paid tribute to the late icon by performing his American Girl anthem at Friday's induction ceremony.
The Killers put their spin on two Tom Petty tracks as part of a tribute at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony on Friday (14 April).
The singer-songwriter passed away on 2 October 2017, and the Las Vegas rockers helped pay tribute to him at the prestigious ceremony by playing his American Girl hit.
Watch The Killers rehearse his anthem above, in a video shared on their Instagram.
On the night itself, the Run For Cover rockers incorporated Petty's 1989 track Free Fallin' into the end of their rendition.
