The Killers' Brandon Flowers leaves Glastonbury fans baffled with new look

The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers shocked fans with his Glastonbury appearance as he unveiled a new look.

The Read My Mind hitmaker took to the stage alongside Sir Elton John to belt out his 1971 song, Tiny Dancer, as part of his final UK show.

But shortly after the 42-year-old appeared on stage, his new look left some fans a bit perplexed as some claimed he looked like a famous comedian.

In true Brandon Flowers style, the Nevada-born musician stepped out wearing a suave red suit paired with a light blue shirt as his hair was swept back into a quiff off of his face.

However, many noticed that Brandon was rocking a glowing sunkissed tan as well as an ultra-smooth face with a Hollywood white smile.

Moments after he appeared, one fan took to social media to claim he looked like an Artificial Intelligence (AI) version of himself.

While a second added: "So far, people saying Brandon Flowers resembles an American TV Evangelist, Patrick Bateman, Alan Partridge, and what Jimmy Carr is trying to make himself look like."

"Not Brandon Flowers giving Alan Partridge #Glastonbury," tweeted a third.

Another typed: "Will the real Brandon Flowers please stand up!!! What has he done to his face?"

Before a fifth typed "Simply the best #EltonJohn #BrandonFlowers."

"The red suit, the golden buttons, the baby blue shirt, he's a music AND fashion icon," said another.

Sir Elton told fans that there was a special reason he chose Brandon as one of his four special guests to join him on stage.

Introducing the musician, Elton told the packed crowd: "My next guest, I first met in 2005 When I started playing in Las Vegas, and he came around to my hotel suite to play me his band's first album, which was called Hot Fuss.

"We've been friends ever since. He was the first person I thought of us to come and sing with me, even though he's played Glastonbury six times with The Killers.

"So I'd like to introduce my dear friend, fantastic artist, Brandon Flowers.

Ahead of Elton taking to the stage on Sunday to close the Worthy Farm-based festival, his husband David Furnish offered an insight into what was set to come telling Sky News' Beth Rigby that there would be four mystery guests.

"Four collaborators of his choosing," he said before adding: "People, he just thought, 'I'd really like to do something with these artists at Glastonbury', and that's all I'm going to say."
