Flowers has released two solo albums, 2010’s Flamingo and 2015’s The Desired Effect. In late 2025, Flowers revealed during an Instagram Q&A session that he’d finished recording two more solo records.
The most recent Killers album is 2021’s Pressure Machine. They’re set to perform ahead of the final match of the 2026 UEFA Champions League soccer tournament in Budapest, Hungary, on May 30.
