Unfortunately, it seems that the popular band Queens Of The Stone Age has had to cancel a number of shows in Europe. Lead singer Josh Homme had to undergo emergency surgery, forcing the band to cancel eight European dates. The band expressed their disappointment and frustration in a heartfelt message to their fans, apologizing for any inconvenience caused.
Originally, the band was set to perform at the Festival Jardin Sonore in France, followed by shows in Slovakia, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, Croatia, and Greece. However, due to Josh's sudden need for surgery, they will no longer be able to make these appearances. The band's statement read: "Queens are gutted we aren't able to play for you. We apologize for any inconvenience and share in your frustration and disappointment."
It was revealed that Josh had to fly back to the US for emergency surgery, and the band has made every effort to push through and continue with the shows. However, it is just not possible at this time. The band also provided information for ticket holders, encouraging them to visit the festival websites for updates and assuring them that those with tickets for headline shows will be contacted directly with further information.
This is not the first time Josh has faced health issues. In 2023, he announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer the year before and was still recovering from successful surgery to remove it. In an interview with The Agency, he spoke about how music played a crucial role in his journey and helped him cope with his diagnosis. He said, "Writing this album was a unique experience because we were not only dealing with personal issues, but also trying to navigate through the uncertainties of the world at large."
Despite the challenges, Josh remained optimistic, stating, "I'm extremely grateful that I will get through this and look back at it as something that made me stronger." He also expressed his desire to be understood and not misunderstood during this difficult time.
Formed in Seattle in 1996, Queens Of The Stone Age has seen many changes in its line-up over the years, with Josh being the only constant member. Since 2013, the band has consisted of Josh, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita, and Jon Theodore. The band has been touring to promote their latest album In Times New Roman, with upcoming appearances at Way Out West in Sweden, Oya Festival in Norway, and Syd For Solen in Denmark.
It's a challenging time for the band, but they remain determined to continue making music and performing for their fans.
