The Killers Cover Erasure’s “A Little Respect” & Play “Andy, You’re A Star” For First Time Since 2018

On Friday, June 7, The Killers performed a gig announced earlier this week at New York’s 575-capacity venue, Bowery Ballroom, to Celebrate 20 years of Hot Fuss.

As reported by Stereogum, The Killers performed their song “Andy, You’re A Star” for the first time since 2018. They also covered Erasure’s song, “A Little Respect,” which previously sparked controversy when The Killers’ song “Boy” was accused of ripping off this Erasure song.
