The Killers: The band interrupted their concert in London to celebrate England’s victory

The Killers paused their show at London's O2 Arena to screen the final minutes of England's Euro 2024 semi-final win over the Netherlands, then performed their hit "Mr. Brightside"

Newsroom July 11 04:50

Several fans posted snaps of the memorable moment on social media. The O2 Arena’s lights went out, and the ITV commentator blared over the speakers as the final moments of the match played out, according to a report in The Independent newspaper.

When the final whistle blew, the 20,000-strong crowd erupted into cheers as red and white streamers shot into the air from the stage. Then the rock band from Las Vegas started their song, which is one of their best-known.

User X posted: “The Killers stopped their show at the O2 tonight to show the final minutes and England’s victory whistle before starting to perform ‘Mr. Brightside.'”
