Speaking to Q magazine, the 'Runaways' hitmaker explained that he was picked as the face of his Mormon church's high-profile advertising campaign last year and as a reward for his involvement, was given access to artefacts housed at the headquarters in Utah.

One item he was particularly impressed by was a Book of Mormon which had belonged to Presley because it had notes scribbled in the margins:

"Elvis wrote, 'There can be only one King'. He didn't like being called The King because, to him, Jesus Christ was The King. It was so cool that I got to see that."

Meanwhile, The Killers are currently on an arena tour of the UK and their next date will take place on November 3 at Nottingham's Capital FM Arena.

The singer, who was the runner up on season 7 of the popular vocal talent show, made the unexpected announcement at one of his recent concerts in Salt Lake City where he told the applauding audience:

"I would like to make a special announcement: that I've chosen to serve a full-time mission. It's not because someone told me I was supposed to do it and not because I no longer want to do music anymore. It's because it's what I feel I need to do next in my life."

Fighting back the tears, an extremely emotional Archuleta continued: "It's just the same feeling that I've always tried to follow in my life -- the feeling that's allowed me to have the opportunities I've had, the challenges I have overcome and the blessings, too. And I've learned to trust that feeling and answer when it calls. That's the reason why I know I need to do this in my life."

The 30-year-old took part in a four-minute video which sets out to end rumours and clear up misconceptions about The Church of of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Flowers discusses his religion and life as a rock star in the video called 'A Fire Still Burning':

"There are lots of connotations that come along with popular music or rock music, and it's usually very sex-driven or money-driven, and I realised early on that that wasn't the road for me...Maybe because of the foundations laid for me in my life by my mom taking me to church. I wanted to take a different road."

Flowers married his wife, Tana Brooke Mundkowsky, in 2005 and the couple have three sons.

“Hot on our playlist - heavy indie rock with a Marilyn Manson-esque vocalist.”   The Independent

“The latest in a long string of ‘dead good’ (to use a Yorkshire phrase) bands busting out of the Leeds scene.”  Artrocker

“ A less cheesy Kaisers, twitchier Kings Of Leon, a mormon-free Killers even.”  The Fly

Leeds-based four piece Club Smith release their second single Call To Harm on 7th November via All Sorted!?! Records, after bursting onto the scene in June with their critically acclaimed debut AA single ‘No Friend Of Mine’ / ‘Young Defeatists’, which received radio plays from fans Steve Lamacq (6 Music) and Tom Robinson (6 Music), following early demos played by Frank Skinner (Absolute), Huw Stephens (Radio 1) and Rory McConnell (Radio 1).

Building on the success of the debut, Club Smith return with a blistering, impassioned and combative track inspired by the band’s increasing despair with modern society.  Belting out a chorus of “Break everyone I get too near to… this is your Call To Harm”, singer Sam Robson breaks down the accompanying verses as “references to veiled promises and threats we make to people that we don't keep because we’re inevitably driven by our own agendas… the general gist of the song is that it's annoying how it's often accepted to take the easy way out on things these days, it's seen as better to be dishonest either by behaving in a contrived way and/or just never admitting mistakes.”

Set to record their debut album with producer James Kenosha (Dinosaur Pile up, Pulled Apart by Horses, Grammatics) at the end of the year, Club Smith have already supported The Naked and Famous, Iliketrains, The Sunshine Underground, The Mystery Jets, Two Door Cinema Club, The Neat, Hockey and The Pigeon Detectives, alongside festival appearances at Leeds and Reading and Kendal Calling.

Club Smith comprise:  Sam Robson: Lead Vocals & Guitar  / Vijay Mistry: Drums  / Lee Clark: Bass & Vocals  /  Neil Clark: Keys & sampler & vocals.

The name “Club Smith” was born out of the then under-age and baby-faced, lead singer Sam Robson’s inability to get served in the local pub.  As Robson explains “We used to drink at my friend Smithy’s house when his parents were away.  We’d go round, get drunk, and then try and emulate Original Pirate Material by the Streets, but writing juvenile songs about art foundation courses and Papier-mâché.  We used to refer to the place as “Club Smith.  I forgot all the songs (I have no doubt they were garbage) but I kept the name close to my heart.”
