Killers Drummer Ronnie Vannucci to Record Debut Solo Album in London

With his band the Killers currently on hiatus, drummer Ronnie Vannucci has announced he's set to follow in bandmate Brandon Flowers' footsteps by recording a solo album.

Vannucci has travelled to London to start work on his debut -- but as yet details remain thin on the ground. However the drummer did elaborate on why he's chosen to record in London.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music (via the NME), Vannucci explained, "The people I trust the most with music, some of those people are here. From the very first moment [the Killers] were here it solidified a bond that's undeniable. It's familiar now, it's comforting."

He added, "I felt a connection here personally and I feel most at home [here]."

When it comes to the Killers, Vannucci revealed a new album is "a way off" but promised more "one-off shows" will be announced in due course. As previously reported by Spinner, the Killers will headline the new Lollapalooza festival in Chile next month.
