Description
In this candid biography of the rock band that has sold over 2 million copies of its debut album Hot Fuss, noted journalist Jarret Keene reveals the secret meanings of songs by The Killers. Also exposed is how the band dodged slings and arrows to become big news. Nearly 100 never-before-published photos of The Killers (crowned 'Best New Band' on the 2005 MTV Video Awards) are included, from their original line-up to their most recent stadium gigs. From The Killers' humble beginnings in a local transsexual dive bar to stardom, Keene documents it all.
