Diageo has signed up rock band Killers frontman Brandon Flowers to help celebrate Guinness’s Arthur’s Day.

The 2010 celebrations will see live music events in Ireland, the USA, the Caribbean and Asia.
Musician KT Tunstall, said: "Looking forward to being a part of this years' Arthur Guinness celebrations, and will very willingly raise a glass of the black stuff to the man himself."

These world renowned performers will transform venues of all sizes into truly global celebrations where consumers will unite and raise a Guinness “To Arthur” and to the next 250 years.”
