Speaking to the crowd at Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria on Tuesday 13th July, the Las Vegas rocker explained: "We have had the great pleasure of playing a few shows with the Lathums. They're a great band from the UK and they're from Wigan, right?"He added:

"I first heard about them from this song. It's called How Beautiful Life Can Be and it's a beautiful song. We’re going to share it with you now."

The Lathums shared the incredible moment on Twitter, with the caption: "When Brandon Flowers of @thekillers asks you to sing one of your own songs live in Vienna".
