Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme Talks Cancer Diagnosis: ‘I’ll Get Through This’

Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme Talks Cancer Diagnosis: ‘I’ll Get Through This’

After a very public divorce and custody fight, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has quietly gone through a cancer battle.

Speaking with Revolver, the American rocker confirmed he underwent surgery following a cancer diagnosis last year. He’s said to be recovering from the operation.

“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,” he comments, without sharing further details on his illness.

“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 fucked 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.”

That “interesting time period” he refers to is a dry assessment of his breakup from the Distillers’ singer Brody Dalle in 2019, which has seen both sides file domestic violence restraining orders, and an ongoing custody battle which, due to their profiles, attracts global media attention. And prior to that, he caught flak when video emerged of him kicking a photographer at a KROQ Acoustic Christmas show, an incident he repeatedly apologized for.

Those dramas fed into the creative process for QOTSA’s forthcoming new album In Times New Roman. “I think this is the first time I didn’t want to make a record, but I was dealing with a lot of stuff in my personal life,” Homme adds. “We recorded a lot of stuff. I think I was doing it because when I’m in trouble, this is what I do. This is where I go to get right.”

The band’s eighth and latest full-length studio album is due out June 16 via Matador Records, and features the newly-released cut “Carnavoyeur” (stream below). In Times New Roman was recorded by the lineup of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore, and will be supported by a major tour dubbed, The End is Nero, slated to kick off Aug. 3. It’s the followup to 2017’s Villains, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

ChatGPT is back up after an outage disrupted use this afternoon

If you had trouble using ChatGPT today, you aren't alone. The AI chatbot experienced a partial outage for many users this afternoon, with Down Detector saw reports reaching more than 12,000 reports around the peak point of the issue today.. OpenAI issued a status update shortly after noting that "elevated error rates" were occurring for ChatGPT and Platform users. That problem was marked as resolved at 5:14PM ET.

While the initial outage may be repaired, OpenAI does still have an active status alert up. It's only for the fine-tuning component of its API service. But the end may also be in sight for that final issue, because the current statement from the company is "We have applied the mitigation and are monitoring the recovering.

Watch Sir Sadiq Khan get skewered by a GB News panel in a blistering attack, branding the Mayor of London's efforts as "not good enough".Tre Lowe led the charge against the Labour Mayor, saying: "Last time I spoke about London, I said we had more chance of seeing Lord Lucan than seeing bobbies on the beat."And sadly, the actual stat is true. In the last year, we have lost 1,460 officers. That's in one year. That is a fact. Yes, we're told that knife crime is down and that's great."And murders are down and that's great as well. But what isn't great is that us Londoners don't feel safe. "I know a lot of women in London don't feel safe. Certainly when my wife goes out, she doesn't feel safe. I have to come and get her all the time. "The problem is, is if there are no bobbies on the beat, there is no visibility and there's no deterrence. See, because policing isn't all about stats. It's about confidence and the standard Londoners expect from our Mayor are sadly being let down. "This is my city, a city that I absolutely love and this isn't good enough."From London's famous New Year fireworks to the Overground's "woke" rebranding, the panel went on to deliver a scathing assessment of Sir Sadiq's legacy in office.WATCH THE CLIP ABOVE FOR MORE
