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.

Coachella Lineup to Include FameCrawler Favorites

Whit Honea — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 01:27:00 GMT

The lineup for the Coachella music festival was announced today and we like it (well, some of it). Some of our favorite celebrity parents are on the bill, most notably Paul McCartney and Brandon Flowers of the Killers. No word on whether Dave Grohl will be backing McCartney on drums as he is scheduled to do for the Grammys.

Also performing will be Leonard Cohen! Hello!

According to Yahoo, "McCartney will be making his maiden American festival appearance at the event. "I have heard that Coachella is one of the greatest festivals in the world," he said in a statement. "I'm really excited to get out there and rock!""

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.
