Killers and Kimmel Spoof Kanye West at Live Show

Days after Kanye West's mic-grabbing moment at the VMAs, the Killers decided to make their own statement about Mr West's penchant for invading the stage.

At their show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, the Las Vegas rockers roped in comedian Jimmy Kimmel to spoof West's recent stunt. Kimmel surprised fans by appearing on stage dressed up as Kanye -- interrupting Killers singer Brandon Flowers by snatching the mic to announce that Beyonce had the "best music video" and support band the Psychedelic Furs were the "best band."

The Kimmel/Kanye comedic turn was followed by Flowers and the Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler dueting on a version of the Furs' 80's classic 'Pretty in Pink.' After finishing the cover, Flowers told the crowd, "That was a real treat for us," with a huge smile on his face. Earlier the Killers frontman said the British band had influenced their music, particularly the hit 'Smile Like You Mean It.'

Whether West is all smiles after the Kimmel appearance, however, remains to be seen.

I was at the show last night and it was indeed awesome.

At first we had no idea that it was Kimmel or what he was doing, but as soon as he started talking everyone cracked up

I'd love to hear Flowers and Butler sing Pretty in Pink!

I hope he doesn't collaborate w/Kanye, despite all the rumors I am hearing. I will never look at them the same if they did but I guess after this stunt, I'd say chances are very slim of them getting together. Thank God! Hip-hop should never be mixed w/rock n roll. It's horrifying.
