Watch 17-Year-old shock crowd after the Killers pull him on stage

November 26, 2019 | Tim Virgin

 

A 17-year old kid was plucked from a crowd at the Killers recent headlining set at the Riptide festival in Florida, and when Brandon Flowers put him behind the drum kit on the song “For Reasons Unknown”, he absolutely killed it.  His name is Jayson Verebay and he was clearly feeling overwhelmed by this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“As I was coming up there, my heart was pounding and I was actually shaking,” Verebay told Rolling Stone right after The Killers’ set, which closed night one of this year’s Riptide Fest. “It was the most mind-boggling experience ever.”

The KIllers will drop their new album  “Imploding the Mirage,”  in the spring.
