When Brandon Flowers of The Killers was growing up, he was a big fan of British bands of the 80s. His two favourites were The Cure and Morrissey. Especially Morrissey.
He loved everything about the Smiths and everything that Morrissey released as a solo artist. Then one day, back when Brandon was working at a restaurant in Las Vegas called Spago, who should walk in but Morrissey himself. He ordered a mushroom pizza and a pot of tea.
After he left, Brandon took Morrissey’s dirty tea cup home as some kind of treasure. He still has it, too. It’s carefully stored–unwashed–in a safe in his home.
