Josh Homme, le chanteur du groupe Queens Of The Stone Age, a eu vraiment une grosse soirée samedi soir.
QOTSA jouait dans un événement appelé “KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas” en compagnie Rise Against, Prophets Of Rage, Thirty Seconds to Mars et Muse en tête d’affiche.
Quelques moments après avoir commencé leur prestation, Josh Homme a littéralement botté la tête d’une photographe. La vidéo est ci-dessous.
Il s’est ensuite coupé lui-même la figure avec un couteau (!?!) en plus de crier “fuck Muse” au micro. Il a aussi demandé à tous les spectateurs d’enlever leurs pantalons et de le huer. Difficle soirée pour Homme qui n’avait vraiment, mais vraiment pas l’air à jeun.
La photographe qui s’est fait donner un coup de pied a sorti sa version des faits aujourd’hui. Le bout où elle raconte qu’Homme la regardait en riant alors qu’elle était en pleure est quand même dark. C’est la photo juste au bas du texte.
Thank you everyone that has reached out with supportive messages. A small update, as I’m being flooded with questions:
My neck is a sore, my eyebrow bruised and I’m a bit nauseous. The doctor released me early in the morning.
Here are three images. Two of them as Josh looked at me, smiled and then kicked me.
The other one is later after he cut his own face with a knife. I was in the pit in tears – and he just stared at me smiling.Assault in any form is not okay, no matter what the reasoning. Alcohol and drugs are no excuse. I was where I was allowed to be, I was not breaking any rules. I was simply trying to do my job.
I hold nobody accountable for this but Josh himself. KROQ has nothing to do with this and I will always support them.
The irony is someone had thrown an ice cube on to the very slick catwalk before the QOTSA set. I was afraid that one of the band members might slip and hurt themselves so, when the lights went dark, I used my arm to wipe down the runway so nobody would hurt themselves.Thank you to @variety for their immediate concern and care with this matter.
As of now, nobody from QOTSA has reached out to me.
