The Killers Postpone Ticket Sales For Aussie Tour: 'We Are Taking This Personally'

The Killers have postponed all ticket sales for their shows, including Australia, due to the global coronavirus outbreak.

The US band issued a statement earlier today regarding the decision.

"The news is changing every hour around coronavirus and, ultimately, we want you, our fans, to stay focused on prevention and remaining safe and cautious right now," the statement reads.

"In addition, once we go on sale, we will be providing a portion of our ticketing income to local organisations who help people whose service industry jobs are impacted by the coronavirus in each of our tour cities. We are taking this personally. Both we and our families have had these jobs and our hearts go out to those affected."

A new pre-sale and general sale date for the Australian tour will be announced soon.
