Brandon Flowers probably thought he was doing the right thing when he praised photographers during a recent concert.
The Killers front man told the crowd at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas Show that photographers were "welcome" and "respected" at their gigs.
Flowers was referencing the controversy surrounding Queens of the
Stone Age front man Josh Homme, who has apologised after kicking a photographer's camera into her face during the band's show at the same event.
NME.com reported Flowers then invited the group's official tour photographer Rob Loud onto the stage and embraced him.
"I'm not going to kick you in the face, just come on up here, it's okay," Flowers reportedly told Loud, as seen in footage of the incident.
