Earlier tonight (June 29) The Killers headlined Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, and the band brought along a few famous friends to assist on some songs.
Brandon Flowers and company were joined by Pet Shop Boys for "Always On My Mind" and "Human," and they brought out Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr for "Mr. Brightside" and "This Charming Man."
Flowers also used a portion of the set to pay tribute to his late mother, who passed away in 2010 after a battle with cancer.
"We wrote this next song a million miles from here," he told the crowd while introducing "A Dustland Fairytale." "We’re a long way from home tonight. But you know, home isn’t always a place. Home is a person. Looking back at my childhood home was my mother. And her light went out too soon."
Check out video of The Killers performing with Johnny Marr and Pet Shop Boys below, and read more of Billboard's Glastonbury coverage here.
