The Killers may be popular in the U.S. -- but they're bonafide mega stars in Europe. Singer Brandon Flowers has a theory about why that is:

This week's top stories had us thinking that summer couldn't come soon enough: Green Day announced their summer tour plans, while officials unveiled the lineup for this year's Lollapalooza festival. Meanwhile, Eminem unveiled the pilled-out cover of his summer release and Oasis announced plans to take a summer vacation -- for five years!

This weekend, SPIN.com will be bringing you full coverage of the Coachella Music and & Arts Festival in Indio, CA. If Paul McCartney bumps into Morrissey, if M.I.A. busts out a new song, or if the Cure's Robert Smith shares his eyeliner with Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O, we'll make sure you know about it.

Kanye West has recorded a new track with Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, after Flowers swung by the rapper's studio and apparently interrupted a work in progress between West and actor-cum-30 Seconds to Mars rocker Jared Leto.

Today, April 8, 2009, is the 15th anniversary of the discovery of Kurt Cobain's body at his home outside Seattle, WA. And while the anniversary of one's death is usually a time for paying homage, this has been a tough week for the Nirvana frontman's widow Courtney Love.

Word is that the Killers are ready to murder each other.
