In January 2010, the band announced that they would take a short break after being on the road for the better part of six years. The break lasted for about a year and a half, during which band members devoted themselves on solo projects , while the band made sporadic other contributions. In late February 2010, Flowers’ mother died from brain cancer, resulting in the cancellation of tour dates in Asia. Two Australian dates in Sydney and Perth were also cancelled; however, both the Gold Coast and Melbourne concerts went ahead, with the Day & Age World Tour finally coming to a close in Melbourne on February 21, when the Killers were the headline act of the Good Vibrations Festival at Flemington Racecourse .
