The Killers revamped their single "Land of the Free" on Sunday (June 7), adding new lyrics to address the death of George Floyd.

In the new, intimate performance of the 2019 one-off single on the band's Instagram, frontman Brandon Flowers changes the second verse of the song with references to Floyd's tragic passing.
