Brandon Flowers Recruits Charlize Theron for 'Crossfire' Video

Brandon FlowersBrandon Flowers may be doing this solo for now, but the Killers frontman has enlisted the help of Academy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron to play his hot heroin in his music video for 'Crossfire,' the first single off his solo debut album, 'Flamingo.'

Premiering earlier Thursday, the video shows a kidnapped Flowers stuck in some compromising situations with Theron saving him 'Kill Bill'-style from evil ninjas. 'Crossfire' doesn't veer too far away from the Killers' sound, which makes sense considering a number of the songs on 'Flamingo' were originally intended for the band.

'Flamingo,' due out in September, features a duet with Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis as well as work with 'Day & Age' producer Stuart Price and Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen). Check out the 'Crossfre' video below.
