Queens Of The Stone Age’s frontman Josh Homme revealed that he “died” in hospital last year after going through surgery for a knee problem that went wrong.

He said “I had an operation and died and survived on the table. I had surgery on my leg and there were complications and I died on the table. I was in a bed for three months”.

Doctors gave him his leave in December and now Homme can continue to work on Queens Of The Stone Age’s brand new album, the first since 2007’s ‘Era Vulagris’. Last summer Homme stated he wanted the new album “to be like a condensed firework show where it’s all grand finale”. Homme hopes to have the album out in middle of the summer and that the musical content won’t be that different from the last “It’s all about wiggling hips. The music is gonna go further down that strange and lovely path of ‘Era Vulgaris’”.

His impressive musical CV includes his first band Kyuss that gained massive underground cult status, Eagles of Death Metal in which he appointed himself drummer and the formation of Them Crooked Vultures in 2009 with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones.

Josh Homme is not the only rockstar to have technically ‘died’ and come back to life to tell the tale. There was Motley Crue’s bassist Nikki Sixx who after taking heroin ‘died’ for three minutes after his heart stopped beating and after receiving medical treatment, also, came back to life.
