Chart-topping rockers The Killers have joked that now they've reached international levels of fame they want to set their sights even higher and literally aim for the stars.

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, the band's Ronnie Vannucci explained that playing a gig on the moon might be the next thing they turn their collective musical hand to:

"Lunar rock, that is the way forward. If there was a gig on the Moon we'd be there. I figure we're so heavy-handed as a band we could probably be heard in space anyway."

The Killers' newly released record, 'Battle Born', slipped 2 places to No.3 in this week's midweek albums chart update and their latest single, 'Runaways', is down 10 to No.29 although the final positions will be confirmed this coming Sunday (September 30).
