A Manx girl was invited on stage with The Killers at the weekend.

Katie Roberts got to play the drums with the band at a gig in Manchester on Saturday night.

She was pulled on stage by lead singer Brandon Flowers to perform to a crowd of around 80,000 people.

Her uncle, Bob Jones, shared some footage on Twitter:

Already doing the rounds but check out my niece playing the drums for The Killers last night at Old Trafford. Absolutely smashed it Katie. Wish we could’ve been there… amazing performance in front of about 80,000 people!???? #thekillers #gokatie pic.twitter.com/LXmFayrEv7
