FLOWERS DEFENDS DECISION TO CENSOR CONCERT PHOTOS

THE KILLERS frontman BRANDON FLOWERS has defended his decision to ban photographers from the band's gigs - because he hates seeing unflattering pictures of himself in the press.
The rockers don't allow press photographers into their concerts and discourage fans from taking their own pictures of the show.
Instead, the band use their own snapper and handpick photos to be released following their gigs.
And Flowers is adamant his decision to monitor which shots make it to the press is not purely down to vanity.
He says, "Everyone has an agenda. If you like me, that’s super and you might put a great (live) picture up. If you don’t like us, you won’t. I’ve seen people do both. That’s just how it is. So why not only put good (photos) out? That’s my motto.
"It’s my photographer doing it, I get to go through them. It makes sense to me, I don’t know why it doesn’t to everyone else.
"(As a photographer) there’s things you can do to a person when they’re screaming their guts out and singing their life away on stage.
"You can make it look funny. I don’t think that makes me any more vain than the next person because I don’t want people to control me. That’s them being more controlling than me if they want to do that stuff.”
