“QOTSA regret to announce that Josh Homme must return to the United States immediately for emergency surgery,” the band stated on social media.

“Every effort was made to push through and play for you, but it is no longer an option to continue.”

This follows last week’s announcement that the band would not perform at the AMA festival in Italy “due to illness.”

Queens have been touring Europe in support of their 2023 album, In Times New Roman… . They are also set to launch a U.S. tour in September.
