The Killers Face Backlash for Inviting Russian Fan on Stage in Georgia

The Killers apologized after being booed during a concert in Georgia for inviting a Russian drummer on stage and referring to him as their "brother." The crowd reacted negatively, with some leaving the concert early. The band clarified that their intention was not to offend anyone and that the comment was meant to suggest that all of their audience and fans are "brothers and sisters." Georgia has a complicated history with Russia, and the two countries have had no formal diplomatic relations since Russia invaded Georgia in 2008.
