Queens of The Stone Age's Josh Homme has revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer in 2022. Homme underwent successful surgery to remove the cancer and is still in the process of healing.
In an interview with Revolver, Homme discussed the hard times he's had over the past few years, including the pandemic, the deaths of close friends, and a messy legal battle with ex-wife Brody Dalle of The Distillers and battling cancer.
He said, “I never say it can’t get any worse. I never say that, and I wouldn’t advise it. But I do say it can get better. Cancer is just the cherry on top of an interesting time period, you know? I’m extremely thankful that I’ll get through this, and I’ll look back at this as something that’s f*cked up — but will have made me better. I’m cool with that. There’s a lot of stuff I want to do. And there’s a lot of people I want to do that with.”
