The Killers may be riding high off their recent album Battle Born, but the Vegas alt-rockers dusted off the Hot Fuss cut "All These Things That I've Done" for a special performance on The Colbert Report. Frontman Brandon Flowers beams as the band digs deep to their first record and soars through the early Killers track with pure joy. "I got soul but I'm not a soldier," sings Flowers in the unforgettable outro. Eight years later and three albums after his first, he may be tougher than he thinks.

'Colbert Report' to Return Tonight

Production is back on for the Colbert Report, which will return to the air tonight.

As Rolling Stone reported last week, the show had abruptly suspended taping after canceling the February 15th episode at the last minute due to "unforeseen reasons."

While neither Comedy Central nor Stephen Colbert himself released an official statement explaining the hiatus, reports emerged that Colbert was taking the time off to care for his 91-year-old mother.

On February 17, Colbert tweeted a note of thanks to those who had expressed concern:

"My family and I would like to thank everyone who has offered their thoughts and prayers. We are grateful and touched by your concern."

Tonight’s episode will feature the novelist Ann Patchett discussing independent bookstores.

'Colbert Report' Abruptly Suspends Production

Stephen Colbert hosts 'The Colbert Report.'

The Colbert Report has gone on a sudden, unexplained hiatus. Last night's episode was canceled at the last minute, with ticketholders for the taping being informed by email that both last night and today's shows were being scrapped due to "unforeseen reasons."

Comedy Central and the Colbert Nation website have not released an official statement on the matter, but the show has been suspended for the week and is not expected to return until Monday at the earliest. The show has never gone off schedule in the past, though its sister program The Daily Show has taken similar last-minute breaks when host Jon Stewart's child was born and after a former intern committed suicide.

Stephen Colbert's normally active Twitter feed has gone silent since Tuesday, suggesting that the host is attending to some sort of personal matter.

Update: The Wall Street Journal has reported that the hiatus is due to an emergency in Colbert's family.
