“Josh had no choice but to prioritize his health and receive essential medical care until the end of the year.”Queens of the Stone Age said in a statement
Queens of the Stone Age has canceled the remainder of its 2024 tour — including a North American run and festivals scheduled for the fall — as Josh Homme continues his recovery from an (unspecified) surgery he underwent in July.
At the time, QOTSA's North American concerts were still scheduled before being finally cancelled on Friday. “Josh and the QOTSA family are so grateful for your support and the time we were able to spend together this past year. We hope to see you all again in 2025.”the group added on Friday.
The band was on tour to promote their latest album, In Times New Roman …released in 2023, the same year Homme revealed he had undergone surgery to get rid of cancer.
