LOS ANGELES, CA  [Tuesday Dec.5.2006]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- The Killers were forced to cancel a show at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland due to illness.

The band's frontman, Brandon Flowers, was seen by doctors after coming down with a bad case of the flu, which caused the singer to lose his voice.

The band issued a statement regarding the unfortunate cancellation:

"We've had to make the terrible decision to cancel tonight's show in Dublin since we've fallen foul to the dreaded 'flu bug. Brandon has bronchitis and is unable to sing. We're devastated to have to disappoint so many people, but it's simply impossible for us to go ahead with the gig.

"We've had some of our favourite shows in Ireland, 2004's Oxegen Festival was the best ever, and we were really excited to be finishing our European tour with tonight's show at The Point. It was set to be the biggest show on the tour and we know the Dublin audience would have made it spectacular."

The group added, "We're so sorry, Dublin. We'll find a way to make it up to you, we promise!"
