As for Elton Johns involvement, he has previously spread some love for the Killers in the press about their fashion sense. In 2006 he told Fashion Rocks, "It's been a thing the British have always been very good at, with Bowie, myself, T. Rex, the Who, Queen. We all embraced that side of it and I think it's good that some American bands are beginning to do that, but it's still very rare for bands to make a real effort when you get groups like the Killers and Scissor Sisters who come along, it's thrilling.
