Theresa Flaminio departed from Imagine Dragons in early 2012, leaving them as a four-piece. Eventually the Tolmans would leave the group and Daniel Platzman would be recruited in August 2011 by invitation from Ben McKee, prior to the signing of the band's label deal in November 2011, alongside keyboardist Theresa Flaminio. In November 2011 they signed with Interscope Records and began working with English Grammy winning producer Alex da Kid. Local accolades including "Best CD of 2011" (Vegas SEVEN), "Best Local Indie Band 2010" (Las Vegas Weekly), "Las Vegas' Newest Must See Live Act" (Las Vegas CityLife), Vegas Music Summit Headliner 2010, and more sent the band on a positive trajectory. Imagine Dragons were called to fill in and performed to a crowd of more than 26,000 people. They got their first big break when Train's frontman Pat Monahan fell sick just prior to the Bite of Las Vegas Festival 2009. The third EP, It's Time, was made before they signed a record deal. The band released EPs titled Imagine Dragons and Hell and Silence in 2010, both recorded at Battle Born Studios, in Las Vegas. The band garnered a large following in their hometown of Provo, Utah, before the members moved to Las Vegas, the hometown of Dan Reynolds, where the band recorded and released their first three EPs. Lemke left the band later on, leading Sermon to recruit another Berklee music student, Ben McKee, to join the band as their bassist and complete the lineup. Tolman later recruited his wife, Brittany Tolman, to sing backup and play keys, and the band began to play shows together again. In 2009, Tolman recruited longtime high school friend Wayne Sermon, who had graduated from Berklee College of Music to play guitar. Beck and Florence would also depart from the band's lineup that year. The five-piece released an extended play titled Speak to Me that same year. Their name is an anagram for a phrase only known to members of the group, that Reynolds stated each member approved of. Reynolds and Tolman added Andrew Beck, Dave Lemke, and Aurora Florence to play guitar, bass, and piano respectively for their band. In 2008, lead singer Dan Reynolds met drummer Andrew Tolman at Brigham Young University where they were both students. Imagine Dragons have sold 12 million albums and 35 million singles worldwide. In April 2018, the band was nominated eleven more times for Billboard Music Awards. In May 2014, the band was nominated for fourteen Billboard Music Awards, including Top Artist of the Year and a Milestone Award, which recognizes innovation and creativity of artists across different genres. Imagine Dragons has won three American Music Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, one Grammy Award, one MTV Video Music Award and one World Music Award. While all four albums were commercially successful, critical reception was mixed. A previously released single titled "Born to Be Yours" was included on a deluxe version of the album. Afterwords, "Machine" and "Bad Liar" were also released. "Natural" and "Zero" were released as the first singles off the album. The album reached the top five in most countries.Īfter the Evolve Tour was completed, Imagine Dragons released their fourth studio album Origins, on November 9, 2018. The band released their third studio album, Evolve (2017) which resulted in three chart-topping singles, "Believer", "Thunder", and "Whatever It Takes", also making them the artist with the most weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart. The band then embarked on a ten month long world tour, which led to a brief hiatus in 2016, with occasional performances and soundtrack contributions throughout the remainder of the year. The album was preceded by the top 40 single "I Bet My Life", and second and third singles, "Gold" and "Shots". The band's second studio album Smoke + Mirrors (2015) reached number one in the US, Canada and the UK.
