Queens of the Stone Age bring the string to Jools

Off the back of releasing their new album ‘Villains’ - which we gave a full five stars! - back in August, Queens of the Stone Age have taken ‘Villains of Circumstance’ (plus an almighty string section) to Later… with Jools Holland.

Backed by a six piece orchestra and Dean Fertita on piano, a lone Josh Homme performed a stripped back cut from their latest Mark Ronson-produced record, which scooped the band’s first ever UK number one.

Queens of the Stone Age head out on tour next month. Catch them in the following places.

NOVEMBER
18 SSE Arena Wembley, London
