They are supposed to perform in Manila tonight. But due to unforeseen circumstances, their concert was cancelled.

It is with great regret that The Killers have been forced to cancel their upcoming appearances in Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo and Seoul due to unforeseen circumstances involving a serious illness of a close family member. The band deeply apologizes to their fans and hopes to reschedule their shows in these cities soon, we hope you understand and respect our privacy at this difficult time. At this time, the band’s Australian appearances remain scheduled as planned. – The Killers official statement

Those who really know me can tell my multi-preference for kind of music, but I would rarely go to concerts. However, I cannot and did not pass on seeing The Killers when I learned that they were coming to Abu Dhabi. It was no surprise that some of the visitors even flew from other countries just to see the one-night performance.

And she fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes…
