English soccer fans attending The Killers concert in London on Wednesday were treated to quite the surprise … the band paused their show so UK supporters could root on their team in the Euro 2024 semifinal — and after the The Three Lions secured the dub, everyone celebrated with “Mr. Brightside!!”
Check out footage from The O2 … the packed house — including all of the band’s members — stopped everything they were doing to watch the final seconds of England’s tilt with the Netherlands on the big screen.
You could hear a pin drop as England tried to hold on to its 2-1 lead … and once the final whistle sounded on the victory in Germany, chaos ensued at the concert.
Red and white streamers flew out of cannons … and then the band crooned their hit song — while everyone in the building jumped for joy.
The win, of course, was worthy of the epic celebration … as it means England will now advance to the Euro 2024 final to take on Spain.
Some other famous English fans found ways to throw their support behind the team too … as Ed Sheeran and Adele actually attended the game to root for Harry Kane and the boys.
The championship, meanwhile, will kick off on Sunday — and while The Killers don’t have a show set up for that day, fans can still rage at The O2 once more … because London officials announced they’ll be streaming the game on the big screen there again.
