The Killers have said sorry for inviting a Russian fan onstage during a performance in Georgia.
After the performance, which was met with a resounding chorus of boos, Flowers said: "You can't recognise if someone's your brother? He's not your brother?He later added: "One of the things we have come to appreciate being in this band is it brings people together and tonight I want us to celebrate that we're here together and I don't want it to turn ugly.
"We have a longstanding tradition of inviting people to play drums and it seemed from the stage that the initial response from the crowd indicated that they were okay with tonight's audience participation member coming onstage with us. "We recognise that a comment, meant to suggest that all of the Killers' audience and fans are 'brothers and sisters,' could be misconstrued.In 2008, the Kremlin sent troops to invade the region of South Ossetia, and has continued to occupy it ever since.It is unclear how many Russians live in Georgia, but the figure is thought to be higher than 100,000. The number has risen since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when many Russians fled their own country.
