The news comes just weeks after the band had to cancel several European shows so Homme could undergo emergency surgery.
Homme has been open about his health issues in the past, revealing last year that he underwent surgery after being diagnosed with cancer in 2022.
The cancellations include several shows scheduled for September to November in the United States, with independent shows in Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago and Madison also postponed. Additionally, music festival performances in Memphis, Bridgeport and Mexico City were canceled.
In July, the band explained the urgency of Homme’s situation, saying he must “immediately return to the United States for emergency surgery.” Despite their best efforts to continue touring, Homme’s medical condition ultimately prevented them from continuing.
“Homme must return to the United States immediately for emergency surgery,” they said at the time. “We have done everything we can to stand up for you but continuing is no longer an option.”
Queens of the Stone Age have been touring in support of their eighth studio album, In Thames New Rome…released in July. The record is the band’s first release in six years, following an extensive tour of North America, Australia and Asia earlier this year.
The band has not announced any plans to reschedule the cancellations, but expressed its gratitude to fans for their understanding and support during this challenging time.
