The Killers have canceled three shows while singer Brandon Flowers recovers from laryngitis, the band announced on Twitter. The Las Vegas rockers nixed last night's show in Camden, New Jersey, and concerts planned for tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York and Saturday at Toronto's Air Canada Centre. The band plans to reschedule the New York date "very soon," and encourages fans to hold on to their tickets for that future show. Tickets for the Toronto show will also be honored for a future date. Refunds are also available at point of purchase.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
