The Killers Are Reproducing: Brandon Flowers Expecting Baby No. 2

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 30 May 2009 22:32:00 GMT

The Killers singer and keyboardist Brandon Flowers and his wife Tana are getting ready for their second child. The couple also have a son, Ammon, who was born in July of '07.

Flowers, who along with his band members are known for their flamboyant outfits and stage shows, recently credited Elton John for The Killers' success."We wouldn't be here if it weren't for Elton John!" Flowers said in an interview with Elle UK. "Coming from very ordinary backgrounds, the glamour was an exciting thing when we started out. It still is.

"It just seems natural for us to be drawn to ostentation. Putting on a suit, a little make-up... it feels the right thing to do."

The Killers, whose current album is Day & Age, are scheduled to headline Lollapalooza in August.

Congratulations to the expectant parents!

Brandon Flowers is a Killer Romantic

trix — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 13:31:00 GMT

Brandon Flowers, the cutie from The Killers, is married to Tana Mumblow and has a 19 month old son Ammon Richard. How do they keep their romance alive?

Brandon says that the key to romance in his house is, to get Ammon to bed early. Wow, my kids go to bed at seven and I'm too tired for any kind of romance.

Brandon also says he is a romantic kind of guy, awww what a sweetie. “I know the right time to send flowers. Sometimes it is not on the calendar and it’s not about Valentine’s Day – it’s knowing when to do it. Now, of course, a romantic evening is all about getting the baby to bed early. That’s when the romance begins.”

Well that's nice, now I'm jealous.

Killers' Brandon Flowers Says Fatherhood Gives Life Context

Killers' Brandon Flowers Says Fatherhood Gives Life Context

Karl Erikson — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:37:00 GMT

With the release of their new album "Day & Age" coming next week, The Killers are preparing for a world tour. Frontman Brandon Flowers, 27, says it's difficult to tour when he has 16-month-old Ammon at home with his wife Tana. Tana "gets to stay home and do fun things with the baby," Brandon says. "Our kids are gonna be lucky." Of course, his recording time and all that world traveling to support his music has its price.

"He cries when I go to the store. And then if I'm gonna go for a month I think, 'Is he gonna remember me?' It's hard. It's scary. But we'll figure it out. People have been doing it for a while."

His son helps his faith, Brandon says. And while he still doesn't quite "feel like a man," he says that Ammon has taken him "a giant step" closer to the goal. "I'm trying my best to become one," he says. "And a good one. Fatherhood puts it all in context. I'd always think of how much I wanna devote my life to what I do and that just hit a brick wall. 'Uh, I really gotta rethink thing.'"

Ammon is Brandon's and Tana's first child. They married 3 years ago. The new Killers album drops next week. And dare I say it? The first track is killer. Listen yourself.

Flowers from Killers: A Baby Story

Whit Honea — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 13:04:00 GMT

Somebody told me that Brandon Flowers, frontman for The Killers, is now a daddy. His wife, Tana, has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.

The birth worked out swimmingly, as the band is home in Las Vegas for sin and relaxation before going to Europe in August.

Flowers, who is constantly being quoted by the press as making derogatory comments about other bands, now has the perfect opportunity to start talking shit about their children. He does like a good hot fuss.
