The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has spoken candidly about Mick Jagger's sex appeal, describing him as a “sex beast”.

The singer made the comments after he was asked during an interview with Uncut magazine to name the sexiest male performer from different three decades.

His options were Jagger in the 1960s, Queen's Freddie Mercury in the 1970s and Morrissey in the 1980s.

Flowers replied: "Mick Jagger. I love the other guys, but as sexy as they were, they didn't have the raw, animal sex appeal of Jagger. Jagger was a sex beast.”

As previously reported, The Killers are due to play a joint concert with Coldplay in London next month.
