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.

Flowers has been dealing with throat issues throughout the tour; the Killers cut a show short last month in Manchester when Flowers lost his voice after four songs, and were forced to cancel their gig the following night.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
