The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers is set to unleash his debut solo album later this year.

Somewhat aptly titled 'Flamingo', the album was announced on The Killers' official website last night.

Fans and even Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe had been speculating about the record for over a month, but the announcement 'NEW SOLO ALBUM – FLAMINGO – COMING SOON' confirmed the news.

Sadly there's no news of a track list or a release date.

The Killers recently denied reports they are splitting but confirmed they are on a hiatus.
