Queens of the Stone Age Postpone 2024 Tour as Josh Homme Prioritizes Health
Queens of the Stone Age have announced a significant change in their 2024 plans, revealing that all remaining tour dates for the year have been canceled or postponed. This decision comes as the band’s frontman, Josh Homme, is set to continue receiving essential medical care. The move follows Homme’s recent emergency surgery and a prior announcement that he was battling cancer.
In a statement shared on social media, the band expressed their regret over having to cancel their upcoming shows. They explained that Homme’s health must take precedence, necessitating this difficult decision. "Josh has been given no choice but to prioritize his health and to receive essential medical care through the remainder of the year," the statement read. The band further apologized for the inconvenience this may cause fans and promised that ticket holders would be contacted with information about rescheduled dates and refunds.

Homme’s health issues have been a concern for some time. Last year, the 51-year-old musician disclosed that he had successfully undergone surgery for cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2022. Despite his openness about these struggles, the specifics of his recent surgery remain undisclosed. The band had previously canceled several European tour dates in July for Homme to return to the U.S. for emergency surgery. They had hoped to resume their tour in the fall but now face the reality of further delays.
The affected tour dates include shows across the U.S. and Mexico, including major festivals and standalone concerts in cities such as Boston, Chicago, and Memphis. These cancellations mark a stark interruption for fans who were looking forward to seeing the band perform live. The band’s latest album, In Times New Roman… , released last July, was their first in six years, and their recent tour had taken them across North America, Australia, and Asia.
Queens of the Stone Age, known for their powerful rock performances, have built a loyal following over the years. The decision to halt their tour reflects the gravity of Homme’s situation and underscores the band's commitment to supporting their frontman through this challenging period.
As fans await updates on rescheduled dates, they are encouraged to visit the specific event sites for more information. The band expressed their gratitude for the support they’ve received and assured fans that they look forward to returning to the stage in 2025. The rock community and fans alike are rallying behind Homme and the band during this time, hoping for a full recovery and a successful return to music.
