Multi-billionaire Chelsea football club owne Roman Abramovich hosted a New Years Eve party at his £58 million estate St.Barts and had the fortune of Paul McCartney joining The Killers on stage

Macca traded lines with Brandon Flowers for a storming rendition of ‘The Beatles’ Helter Skelter’, which is taken from The White Album.

This impromptu performance evidently was a delight to The Killers who celebrated the start of New Year by having the honour of one of the all-time greats being in their band for a brief moments. The Killers shared the video on Facebook, writing “So far, So good” in relation to their awesome start to 2017/

Both singers looked like they were having the time of their life and captured the essence of the rock ‘n’ roll original as the band provided top notch sound quality and tight rhythms to drive it along.

As a side note, there was also music from The Rolling Stones and Guns N' Roses in this extraordinarily privileged party.

Elsewhere, The Killers' 2004 debut album Hot Fuss is being re-released on 13 January, you'll be able to hear all of those noughties indie hits including 'Mr. Brightside', 'Somebody Told Me' and 'Smile Like You Mean It' on classic black heavyweight vinyl as well as a white pressing.

The re-mastered double LP, included two bonus tracks, 'Peace of Mind' and 'Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars are Blazing Mix)' but it's not yet known if the new look Hot Fuss will include any extra surprises.
