Queens of the Stone Age have been forced to cancel several upcoming dates on their 2024 European tour so that frontman Josh Homme can return to the United States for emergency surgery.
“Every effort was made to push through and play for you, but it is no longer an option to continue,” the band wrote in a statement released on Tuesday.
The affected shows include festival performances and headlining dates in France, Slovakia, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, Hungary, and Greece scheduled throughout July.
As of now, Queens of the Stone Age’s next scheduled live performance is set for August 8th at the Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. The band also recently confirmed a run of fall US tour dates with The Kills. Consequence has reached out to QOTSA for more information on the status of these dates, as well as details on Homme’s medical condition.
Last week, QOTSA canceled their appearance at the AMA Music Festival in Italy due to an undisclosed band member illness. However, they returned to the stage for a performance at I-Days in Milan on July 6th, although some fans noted that Homme was limping during the show.
