The American band The Killers apologized for the words “we are all brothers” and for inviting a Russian drummer to the stage during a concert in Georgia. The fans did not like the act of the musicians, the crowd began to shout protest slogans. Words of apology from the group appeared on their X (formerly Twitter) social media account.
“We acknowledge that a comment implying that all The Killers viewers and fans are ‘brothers and sisters’ could be misinterpreted. We didn’t mean to upset anyone and we apologize,” The Killers wrote.
The musicians noted that it is their long tradition to invite people from the crowd to play drums with them. “From the stage, it looked like the initial reaction from the crowd was that the fans didn’t mind,” The Killers added.
Earlier, the lead singer of The Killers invited Russian drummer on stage during a concert in Georgia. Some fans expressed dissatisfaction with this. To this, the musician replied that “we are all brothers.” Relations between Russia and Georgia are tense. This is due to territorial claims regarding Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which Tbilisi considers part of its territory.
