Bruce Springsteen texted The Killers and, here we are.
The Killers and Bruce Springsteen have teamed up for a new version of the Las Vegas band’s A Dustland Fairytale track from the 2008 album Day & Age.
According to Brandon Flowers, the hook up was sparked after Springsteen was left impressed by The Killers’ 2019 headline appearance at Glastonbury.
“’Watching Glastonbury, you guys have become one hellacious live band, my brother. Love the gold suit. We gotta do Dustland one day. – Bruce’,” the text read according to a statement from Flowers.
“I google the area code,” he continues. “It’s from Freehold, New Jersey, and I’m still not convinced. I text Evan (Bruce and Patti’s son who has become a buddy of mine) and get verification that the number really is coming from his old man.”
