For England's EM-Jubilee - The Killers interrupt their concert extra
Beyond Europe as well, the EM fever continues. The American rockers The Killers interrupted their concert at the London O2-Arena on Wednesday evening (10th July) to allow fans to watch the exciting half-final match between England and the Netherlands.
Confetti and "Sweet Caroline" for the fans
The brief interruption proved worthwhile. In the 91st minute, Ollie Watkins (28) scored the winning goal for England, securing their entry into the final with a 2:1. The American musicians Brandon Flowers (43), Dave Keuning (48), Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (48), and Mark Stoermer (47), who are currently on their "Rebel Diamonds" tour, played the Neil-Diamond song "Sweet Caroline" in celebration, fired off the confetti cannons for the goal, and partied with their fans, who sang along loudly, applauded, and cheered - a goosebumps moment!
