The Killers have confirmed guitarist Dave Keuning will join bassist Mark Stoermer on a break from the band for the foreseeable future.
A statement posted on social media chooses to focus on an evolving live set-up, with touring members Ted Sablay and Jake Blanton singled out for recognition.
“Despite conjecture, The Killers are the same four weirdos we’ve always been,” it reads. “And worry not, we will not be performing as a two-piece. Dave will be taking a break from touring to spend time with his family. We respect his decision, just as we respected Mark’s decision to go back to college.”

“More importantly, Wonderful Wonderful will be released on September 22, and we can’t wait for you to hear it – on record and at the shows. We will not disappoint.”
Meanwhile, another UK outing for the rejigged line-up has just been revealed, and will take place at the Brixton Academy in London on September 12th.
