Queens of the Stone Age has cancelled their European tour to allow founder and lead singer Josh Homme to undergo emergency surgery. The rock band did not disclose the nature of the surgery, though Homme, 51, revealed in 2023 that he had successfully undergone treatment for cancer.
The group was scheduled to play a number of shows on the continent in July, but Homme “must return to the United States immediately for emergency surgery”, the band said in a Facebook post.
