[edit] Selected events

This section really seems to be a trivia section disguised as something else. Anthony Rupert 14:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

agreed, section tagged as trivia, one item should be merged into text. Benjiboi 15:02, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Darrent Williams

Was he really the Brandon Flowers wounded in the Darrent Williams shooting? Can we confirm this? Sources? - NO, he was not the same Brandon Flowers. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/02/sportsline/main2320694.shtml?source=RSSattr=Entertainment_2320694

"Williams' mother identified Flowers as a high school friend who was visiting Williams.."

[edit] Flowers sexuality

Rufus Wainwright has a song on his new album called Tulsa and he says on a TV interview that it's about a night he spent with Brandon in Tulsa. Draw your own conclusions, Rufus is openly gay.

No... Rufus Wainwright's song is about a night he spent IN A BAR with Brandon in Tulsa. That's not exactly hard evidence of homosexuality. Lazylisa (talk) 04:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I haven't heard the song, but even if it were to scream the words "Brandon Flowers is gay," it would not be Flowers proclaiming his sexuality. That can in no way, shape, or form be construed as a reliable source about his sexual orientation. It can not be used in the article. Aleta (Sing) 13:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is it true?

I highly doubt that Brandon died on the 22nd, considering that not even The Killers official website mentions anything about it. I really don't think it's true, and if it's not, someone please fix it. It's one of the few things with this page (besides the incorrect formatting) that's bothering me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.140.232 (talk) 02:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] not a controversy

"On August 2, 2005, Flowers married longtime girlfriend Tana Munblowsky in a private ceremony in Hawaii.^[1] The two dated for approximately four years before they wed. On July 14, 2007, the Flowers' first child, a boy named Ammon Richard Flowers, was born.^[2]

Flowers is a devout Mormon.^[3][4] He has described his personal faith as a "very important" part of his life. He has joked that "I don't think the make-up would go down so well at church." Flowers has also stated that he does not oppose gay rights, saying "I think everybody should have equal rights." ^[5]" i moved this from controversies into carear, it doesnt really fit in carear but its better there than controversies--82.35.192.193 (talk) 21:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Good edit. I created a "personal life" section to hold the info. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 21:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
