The Killers' Concert At The Warfield Tonight Has Been Killed

"the best ever death metal band out of denton / never settled on a name / but the top three contenders, after weeks of debate / were satan's fingers, and the killers, and the hospital bombers" -- The Mountain Goats, "The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton"

This just in: "The Killers have been forced to cancel their show this evening at San Francisco's Warfield due to illness. The show will be rescheduled for December 12th at The Warfield; all tickets from the cancelled show will be honored for this date."

"It's not even on Goldenvoice's page for the show yet," our well-placed source wrote, "For shame."

No word on whether the cancellation is due to illness or "illness."

Press release-y link: "The Killers would like to apologize to their fans for the cancellation."

So all you semi-ironic listeners and non-ironic kiddies will have to do something else tonight instead of tryin' to squint at the stage and kinda-sorta pretend that The Killers were actually Duran Duran circa a brighter completely-idealized utterly-imagined time in the past.
