Is anyone against removing 'bass' for Brandon Flowers and 'rhythm guitar' for Mark Stroemer? The only time I can think of where they play those instruments is on For Reasons Unknown and I'm pretty sure one song doesn't do it. It should stay in the Band members, but it should probably gon when listed in the first paragraph.
Also maybe none of my business but couldn't this talkpage do with some cleanup? Solitude6nv5 ( talk) 19:49, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

My involvement with this article has been sporadic over the years, but I was notified of this nomination. My area of expertise is references, so I'll do what I can to bring them up to speed.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 01:33, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
Links to tours redirect back to the main article. On looking into the links they have all been redirected from established and detailed articles on the tours because they are lacking sources. There's a fair deal of useful information that could be saved if people were interested in digging up some reliable sources that talk about those tours:
Here's one of the tour articles that wasn't redirected, with some indication of what sources to look for: Wonderful Wonderful World Tour. SilkTork ( talk) 09:04, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
The reference should link to an archived version of the review, such as this.

Band touring musician Jake Blanton's name is spelled wrong in the current photo caption (where it says Jake "Stanton"). When the article is no longer locked, would someone please fix it? Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.39.154.38 ( talk • contribs)

They changed background singers over the years since 2019, Danielle Withers was replaced by Melissa McMillan, Vanessa Bryan only joined for a short time as a fourth background singer in that year around June to September 2019. By mid-2021, Amanda was replaced by Kristen Rodgers, and lastly in 2022, Kristen was replaced by Tori Allen who also played acoustic guitar and violin. And Danielle didn’t play guitar or violin, it was Tori who did. 2601:40D:4280:EFD0:21CB:F377:7C9B:F075 ( talk) 20:11, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

I’m confused. Where’s the evidence that Mark Stoermer left The Killers? If Mark left, it’s most likely The Killers or even Mark made a statement about it, but putting Mark in the past members section without a link providing evidence of Mark’s departure seems completely pointless. 2601:40D:4280:EFD0:81F8:38CF:7EA8:EA1C ( talk) 03:23, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
