The Killers paused their "Rebel Diamonds" show at The O2 in London so their supporters in the British capital could watch the match between England and The Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-finals.
On Wednesday, the rock band -- comprising Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Ronnie Vannucci Jr. and Mark Stoermer -- surprised their British fans when they paused their show so they could watch the final seconds of the match on the big screen.
After England officially won the match, the rockstars celebrated the big win by firing the confetti and immediately playing "Mr. Brightside."
