Queens of the Stone Age bring the string to Jools
Josh Homme performed ‘Villains Of Circumstance’ on the show.

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.
