Talking Heads Release First Official 'Psycho Killer' Video Starring Saoirse Ronan

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of their iconic song "Psycho Killer," legendary rock band Talking Heads released the first-ever official music video starring Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. Directed by Mike Mills, the video portrays Ronan experiencing the monotony and mental unraveling of daily life, aligning with the song's themes without being literal or violent, which the band praised for enhancing the song. The video's release coincided with the anniversary of Talking Heads' first live performance in 1975, marking another milestone in the band's enduring legacy despite no plans for a reunion tour. Ronan expressed excitement about working with the band and director Mills, calling it a lifelong dream and highlighting her longstanding fandom. While the band reunited for their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and promotional appearances, they have not performed live together since the 1980s, and a concert reunion remains unlikely. This video adds to the celebration of their lasting influence on music and culture across generations.
