During a recent interview with Consequence, Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme opened up about his recent health issues. The vocalist/guitarist says he was bedridden for seven months after his emergency surgery last year.
Homme said the following about feeling ill during the band’s “Alive In The Catacombs” performance:
“I was in a very difficult physical spot, and I’m really thankful that I was, actually. I couldn’t think about anything else but where we were. It’s better that I was unwell, because I think if I was well, we would’ve maybe been more ‘California’ about it and thought ‘Man, it’s so cool to be here…’ And something about that kind of sucks.”
He continued:
“I performed in the Catacombs, and within about 20 hours I was being sedated and put under. Then I spent the next seven months in bed. I had a lot of time to think, you know? I was told I was gonna spend 18 months, two years there, so I was not excited.”
He also added:
“Each thing that me and the guys are making, when we put that branding iron in the fire, I want to work on it and leave it in there until it’s red hot so I can at least, for the moment, try to beautifully scar everyone that hears it. I know other people use their brand for Vitamin Water and whatever the fuck they’re making. But I wanna burn you with mine. My brand is scarification.”
