Speaking to Billboard back in March, Flowers added that he was obsessed with Sinatra as a child.
"We always talk about how we bring a little bit of Vegas wherever we go," he said. "I grew up with people like Wayne on billboards. You go to the 7-Eleven and there's a line of slot machines with a Rat Pack picture. I didn't realise how much it was ingrained in me. When I was a kid, I listened to Depeche Mode and New Order, but when I went home I would put on Frank Sinatra's Main Event. And I played golf.
"I secretly had this older persona for myself of, like, driving an Eldorado, smoking cigars and listening to Sinatra."
