The band, who are fronted by Ryan Tedder, also discussed how Oasis influenced their own music and careers in a teaser clip for the episode. “I was an Anglophile; the only Anglophile amongst my friends when I was 13 or 14,” Tedder explained. “‘Champagne Supernova’ is like a once-in-a-lifetime record. It’s just a classic.”

Last year, Tedder discussed working with The Killers on potential tracks for their new album ‘Wonderful Wonderful‘.

Speaking to NME, he said: “Brandon Flowers is a very pensive, interesting man and we’re very opposite in the way we communicate. We connected through Peter Gabriel. Over text I randomly asked him, ‘Do you like ‘Come Talk To Me?’ and he wrote back: “Peter Gabriel is one of my all-time top three artists, and ‘Come Talk To Me’ is my favourite Peter Gabriel song.’ That was the moment of connection.

“With The Killers, we’re still in the process [of making the album] and I can’t speak as to their timing or anything. But I love what we’ve started immensely, obsessively even. It sounds 100% like them and nothing like me.”
