Brandon Richard Flowers nació el 21 de junio de 1981 en Henderson, Nevada, una pequeña ciudad cerca de Las Vegas. Desde temprana edad, Brandon mostró un interés marcado por la música, influenciado principalmente por la colección de vinilos de su hermano mayor y por la vibrante escena musical de Las Vegas. Su familia, de raíces mormonas, se trasladó a Utah cuando él era adolescente, pero Flowers pronto regresó a Las Vegas, la ciudad que moldearía su carrera musical.
En 2001, después de asistir a varios conciertos locales, Brandon respondió a un anuncio en una revista que buscaba músicos para una nueva banda. Allí conoció al guitarrista Dave Keuning, con quien formó la banda que más tarde se conocería como The Killers. Juntos, comenzaron a escribir y grabar música, encontrando un sonido propio que combinaba new wave, rock y pop.
The Killers lanzaron su álbum debut, Hot Fuss, en 2004. El disco incluyó éxitos instantáneos como "Mr. Brightside" y "Somebody Told Me," que rápidamente catapultaron a la banda a la fama internacional. No solo recibieron elogios críticos, sino que también conquistaron las listas de ventas en Estados Unidos y Reino Unido.
Paralelamente a su trabajo con The Killers, Brandon Flowers lanzó su carrera en solitario en

She was raised a protestant
I was raised by wolves
Both of us sought dignity in vain
Stretchin' out in paradise
It wasn't in the cards
See neither of us were ready for the rain
Guess I was caught off guard
when I heard the news last week
Ran into a friend of mine with the word on the street
That the life that you chose to lead
had the desired effect
That you hit the ground running the day that you left
That you're playing for every side
That you're going for every kill
But I don't believe it and I never will, never will
Maybe it's all dogs and bones
Chasing every tail
And howling at the injustice of the night
And if I misjudged you well honey that's on me
But I really do hope you found a way
to get what you need
And the life that you chose to lead
had the desired effect
That you hit the ground running the day that you left
That you're playing for every side
That you're going for every kill
Well I don't believe it I never will
Are you wondering where it all goes?
Are you living the way you should?
Are you taking the time to listen?
Is it doing you any good?
Are you wrestling with the demons?
Are you moving the party forward in your time?
take your time any old time
Are you looking to change the world?
Or have you already changed your mind?
Are you keeping the ten commandments?
Or are you leaving them all behind?
Are you practicing your pirouettes?
Or are you going in blind this time?
Did the life that you chose to lead
have the desired effect?
Did you hit the ground running the day that you left?
Are you're playing for every side?
Are you're going for every kill?
Well I don't believe it - I never will
The desired effect
