Brandon Flowers (born June 21 1981 in Las Vegas, Nevada) is the vocalist and keyboardist in the American rock band The Killers. He was born in Las Vegas, Nevada but was raised in Nephi, Utah, where the Flowers family moved when Brandon was eight. He later returned to Las Vegas.
Driving around and listening to the radio in his car after his very first college class, Flowers heard the song "Changes" by David Bowie. He fell in love with the piece and realized he wanted to make music. He went to his next class but walked out half-way through.
Flowers joined a band known as Blush Response, but the band booted Flowers when he refused to move with the rest of them to Los Angeles, California.
One day, as he was entering the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, Flowers was handed a free ticket to a nearly-finished Oasis concert, where he realized the importance of guitars.

The Killers were spawned shortly thereafter when Flowers responded to an ad placed by guitarist David Keuning in the Las Vegas Weekly looking for a vocalist in order to form a band.
Mark Stoermer later became the bassist and Ronnie Vannucci became the drummer.
Flowers currently has a fiancée named Tana Munbkowsky. Like Flowers, she is 23-year-olds and Mormon. She is an Urban Outfitters manager/CCSN student/occasional CityLife model.
He has an interest in the word "Aria" and the word "Basket Case". His favorite bands are Morrissey and Psychedelic Furs. He wishes to put "Aria" in a song one day. He first wants to meet someone named Aria before writing the song.
