Imploding the Mirage is the upcoming sixth studio album by American rock band the Killers. It is scheduled to be released on August 21, 2020, by Island Records in the United States and internationally by EMI. It is the band's first album without lead guitarist Dave Keuning, who has not been touring or recording with the Killers since 2017. Guitar parts are covered by Killers bassist Mark Stoermer, producer Jonathan Rado, and a variety of guest musicians including Lindsey Buckingham (ex-Fleetwood Mac).
Almost ten years after "Mr. Brightside" helped turn the Killers into new millennial rock sensations, the time has come for a hits collection. Calling the compilation Direct Hits – a punning title that feels timeless but has rarely been used before, a nifty encapsulation of the group's style and attributes – the Killers cannily use the singles-centric conceit to showcase the band at their overblown best, emphasizing their arena-sized neo-new wave just slightly over their Springsteenisms.
"Update 11/11/13 – The DVD has been dropped from this deluxe edition – it is now only a single CD with the three bonus tracks.
The Killers celebrate ten years of music, with their first hits collection, appropriately titled Direct Hits. The 15-track selection includes the singles from the Las Vegas band’s four studio albums, Hot Fuss (2004), Sam’s Town (2006), Day & Age (2008) and Battle Born (2012), as well as including two new tracks Shot At The Night and Just Another Girl. A deluxe CD+DVD edition is also available which comes with three bonus tracks on the audio disc, one of which is the original demo of Mr Brightside. The DVD features a never-before-seen Killers documentary. In addition, Island Records are creating a Super Deluxe Edition which will be sold exclusively via their online store. This repeats the content of the standard CD+DVD deluxe edition, and adds a unique collection of 5 x 10? vinyl records featuring all the singles on the album. Direct Hits will be released on 11 November 2013.

Rebel Diamonds is a greatest hits album by American rock band the Killers, released on December 8, 2023, through Island Records.

The compilation features three original songs from the band's aborted eighth studio album – "Boy", "Your Side of Town" and "Spirit" – produced by Stuart Price and Shawn Everett. Rebel Diamonds serves as a retrospective look at the career of the rock band, offering a chronological arrangement of their hits by the year of release and a new track, "Spirit". The album title is taken from the lyrics of their song "Read My Mind" from their second album, Sam's Town.
