Josh Homme has said that he is on great terms with his former Queens Of The Stone Age bandmate Nick Oliveri.
The frontman’s declaration comes despite him turning down a recent request from the bassist to rejoin the band for a live show.
Speaking to Q, Homme revealed that the pair have been friendly “since a couple of months” after Oliveri was ousted from the band in 2004.
“I just forgot to tell all the rest of you people [the public] because you’re on my Christmas list but I misplaced my bottle of Got-to-give-a-shit-what-everyone-else-thinks-about-stuff, you know?” he said.
He added: “When it comes to who’s in my ‘friends box’, everyone’s so behind.”
Oliveri is currently touring the UK as part of a reformed Kyuss, who are performing without original member Homme under the name Kyuss Lives!.
The band play London’s HMV Forum tonight (April 2) and tomorrow (3).
