The rock band The Killers publicly apologized to the people of Georgia on Tuesday after lead singer Brandon Flowers was heckled for bringing a Russian fan onstage during a concert in the former Soviet republic.
Social media footage circulating of the concert shows Flowers addressing the crowd after bringing a fan onstage and saying, "We don't know the etiquette of this land, but this guy is a Russian, are you OK with a Russian? I'm all right with it," with the crowd responding with loud boos.
"One of the things we have come to appreciate about being in this band is it brings people together … I see you as my brother and my sisters," Flowers said over a jeering crowd with one audience member heard angrily shouting, "This is Georgia," in response to the Killers frontman.
