Frontman says it will "definitely" happen this year...
The Killers are gearing up to release their first album in four years, according to lead singer Brandon Flowers.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 earlier this week, Flowers confirmed the follow-up to 2008's divisive Day & Age will surface later this year, although the frontman has yet to reveal a specific date.
'We're just kind of in the factory, working," he said. "We've written a lot of songs but they aren't completely finished"
Drummer Ronnie Vannucci has previously called for a more guitar-heavy sound and Flowers is adamant that album number four won't be a retread of previous efforts.

"We don't want to make Hot Fuss 2 or Sam's Town 2, or Day & Age 2. We'll maybe take all that stuff, the best of all of it and do what we know how to do."
Now that the album is confirmed you can expect a tour announcement won't be far behind and with some huge gigs set for Irish shores this year, don't be surprised if the Las Vegas showmen put in an appearance.
