Brandon Flowers believes it's important families spend time together.

The Killers frontman has three sons, Ammon, five, Gunnar, three, and 20-month-old Henry, with wife Tana, and likes to be with them as much as possible because it's a very valuable part of family life.

Brandon - who is a practising Mormon - told Time Out magazine: 'One of the things about my church is we're very family-orientated, so I grew up with that and right now I'm applying that to my family. Most churches are like that but I guess we have a certain emphasis on it.

'I think it's been proven that unless people are sitting around having dinner with their families... I think that's happening less and less. It seems to be, I don't know... I don't know how to finish it.'

Brandon was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church) - which the vast majority of Mormons are part of.

Mormons have a strict health code that doesn't allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, coffee, tea, and other addictive substances. They also have a strict law of chastity, requiring abstention from sexual relations outside of marriage.
