America’s Gerry Beckley Joins The Killers On Stage In Sydney

The Killers have played the last date in their ‘Imploding the Mirage’ world tour. It may have been their 86th show. That’s what Brandon Flowers thinks. Then again it may have been their 88th show. That’s what Ronnie Vannucci Jr says.

The Killers had a special guest at the Sydney show. Gerry Beckley of America joined them for his America classic ‘Sister Golden Hair’.

‘Sister Golden Hair’ was the hit song from America’s fifth album ‘Hearts’ in 1975. Beckley wrote the song. It was their second single to reach number one in America.

The Killers performed in Melbourne on 13 December.
