The Killers covered 'I Predict A Riot' with former Kaiser Chief Nick Hodgson last night

The Killers brought out former Kaiser Chief Nick Hodgson for a run through of ‘I Predict A Riot’ at their Leeds First Direct Arena show last night.

Don’t check your calendars. It honestly is still 2017.

Yep, in a move so nostalgically 2005 it may as well have come with a Long Blondes 7” and a Black Wire t-shirt (just Wikipedia it, eh kids?), the former tour tour buddies hooked up for a run through of the Leeds’ boys most famous anthem, with Nick and Brandon sharing lead vocals.

And in case you were wondering: yes, it does sound quite unusual sung in a Las Vegas accent.

The Killers are over in the UK for a massive tour in support of current LP ‘Wonderful Wonderful’.
