Lololol this entire thing reads like dystopian satire. What on earth are they thinking? WE DON’T NEED FAKE PEOPLE TO INTERACT WITH!

The Killers are now U2. Big stadium rock performances and putting out consistently high quality accessible music for the masses. I will boldly predict that Fontaines DC will eventually take over that mantle. (There is always a U2)
