Brandon Flowers is celebrating the birth of his second son over the weekend.

And the Killers singer has given his new son a unique name – Gunner.

Speaking to the Kramp & Adler radio show moments before taking to the stage at Lollapalooza over the weekend, Flowers explained why he'd given his son such an unusual name.

He said: "It's a tough name. I had to have something that combats against the Flowers."

Flowers and his wife Tana Brooke Mundkowsky also have a two-year-old son called Ammon.
