Brandon Flowers has discussed what he sees as The Killers' "lack of drive" in a new interview, admitting, "It is frustrating."
The Killers headlined Wembley in June 2013, and have sold an estimated 22 million albums worldwide - but Flowers is sceptical as to whether the band will reach those heights again.
Speaking to NME, Flowers said, "There's definitely a drive that we're lacking. It takes a lot of work and that's fine, everybody's different, everybody's gonna have their own road that they go down. Other than Coldplay I'm not sure anybody's made the dent that U2 were able to make. They were so much a part of the landscape and the timing of when they were coming out."
He continued, "It's changed so much now, there's so much music out there and so much noise to compete with, it's strange times. So sometimes it's frustrating with four different people and four different personalities in this band, we don't have that whole history that U2 have of these four young kids that knew each other and grew up in the same town."
Speaking of the fact that The Killers aren't as big as U2, Flowers said: "It is frustrating. People actually talk about how they don't feel like they're adequate, and it's a big band. I don't feel like that - I feel like I can do it."
Flowers' second solo album is due in 2015, before the release of The Killers' fifth album.
