The Killers band have joined in those stars paying tribute to legendary crooner Andy Williams.
Brandon Flowers and Co paid their own homage on Wednesday evening, performing a rendition of his classic song Moon River.
The band took to the stage at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles a day after the veteran entertainer passed away at the age of 84 following a year-long battle with bladder cancer.
In a nod to the late star, frontman Flowers serenaded the crowd with the band's own take on the Oscar-winning song.
The Mr. Brightside hitmakers first performed the track at London's Hard Rock Calling festival last year.
