The Killers "forgot" to take their guitarist to the Glastonbury festival.
The 'Mr. Brightside' rockers were travelling to their show at the world-famous British music event in 2005 when they accidentally left Dave Keuning at a service station - and didn't notice for nearly an hour.
Drummer Ronnie Vanucci explained: "The most ridiculous incident we've had was probably when we played Glastonbury in 2005 - which, up to that point, was the biggest show of our careers.
"On the way to the site, we stopped off to get some food at a service station. About 45 minutes after getting back on the road, we realised that we'd left Dave behind. His wallet and his phone were still in his bunk, so he had nothing."
The day then got worse for the group, as Ronnie was struck down with food poisoning - but they still made it through the show.
He added to Britain's Sunday Times newspaper: "On the way back to pick Dave up, I started to feel sick to my stomach with food poisoning, and it was coming out both ends.
"The show actually turned out to be really good once we got there, but I was still throwing up between songs. One of our roadies was on puke-bucket duty - he would bring it up during the breaks in the set and I would just let rip. Such a glamorous life."

I thought the nightmare would be the actual show.
