Brandon Flowers used to have aspirations to be a valet parker when he was younger, but he's is glad he became a musician instead.

The Killers' frontman has revealed his dream occupation as a youngster was to park other people's cars because he thought they were paid lots of money, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

He told NME magazine: "You can't label people when they're kids, but I guess it's (my motivation) has always been there and I'm so thankful that I found this outlet, otherwise my aspirations in life were to be a valet parker. That was it, those guys make good money. It's not my parents' fault or anything, it's just that was the world we knew."

However, the hitmaker has confessed his uncertainty over the group because he doesn't think they will ever make the same impact which "Beautiful day" band U2 have made with their music.

"There's definitely a drive that we're lacking. I'm not sure if anybody's going to be able to do what they (U2) did. So sometimes it's frustrating with four different people and four different personalities in this band, we don't have that whole history that U2 have of these four young kids that knew each other and grew up in the same town, that bond that they have," he added.
