Queens Of The Stone Age could be set for a new career, after revealing they performed surgery on a fan.
Many rock stars have an alternative career. Brian May from Queen has a PhD in astrophysics, while Iron Maidon singer Bruce Dickinson is a qualified pilot, jetting the band from continent to continent.
Now Queens Of The Stone Age could be set to take up surgery. Yes, that's right - cutting you open with a knife surgery. Confused? You should be...
Speaking to Spinner recently, Troy Van Leuwwen revealed that Queens Of The Stone Age once performed surgery on a fan. The troubled fan took ill during a show in Munich, and after diagnosing appendicitis the band whipped out a scalpel knife and removed the organ.
"Do you wanna hear something fucked up? Of course you do. There was one time when we performed an appendectomy, backstage in Munich. We forgot the anaesthesia. I do know how to perform these operations, but I'd had too much to drink that day. But she's okay."
Pressed to explain more, Van Leuwwen refused to be drawn on the matter. "It's actually a legal matter ... It's a medical slash legal matter and I can't say much more than that."
When not cutting their fans open, Queens Of The Stone Age have apparently been working on new material. "We're at the early parts of the record, there's still some writing going on. We're a band that doesn't push things, things naturally happen, and they are" he said.
"We're kinda sprinkling this year with some touring for the re-release of the debut and then doing some recording. It's going to be a creative time, and that's good, but we're still early on."
Meanwhile, Queens Of The Stone Age are preparing to re-issue their debut album through Domino later this year. Containing bonus material, the band have arranged a short British tour to coincide:
May
17 London Roundhouse
19 Dublin Olympia
20 Glasgow Academy
21 Manchester Academy
