Queens Of The Stone Age's front man, Josh Homme, has revealed that he had a brush with death 2 years ago. 

He explained that in autumn of 2009 he had to have an operation on his knee and experienced complications during the procedure. He told NME:

"I had an operation and died and survived on the table,"

"I had surgery on my leg and there were complications and I died on the table. I was in bed for three months."

He added:

It gave me great perspective, and it's amazing to be alive."

This news comes just after the band announced they intend to play several intimate club gigs in the UK before the summer. Check out Queens Of The Stone Age performing an acoustic version of 'No One Knows' here:
