Yes! That Nick Oliveri: their former bassist and vocalist who joined the band in 1998 and rocked with the for six years.

The band kicked him out for it, understandably. <\/p>\n<p>Despite all that hubbub and turmoil, Oliveri and QOTSA did continue to work together in certain ways. They collaborated on QOTSA\u2019s 2013 album \u2026Like Clockwork, which then led to them taking Oliveri\u2019s band at the time, Uncontrollable, on the \u2026Like Clockwork tour with them. <\/p>\n<p>Queens of the Stone Age 2026 tour dates:<\/p>\n<p>April 25 \u2013 Rancho Mirage, CA @ Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage<br \/>April 27 \u2013 Portland, OR @ Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall<br \/>April 29 \u2013 Seattle, WA @ Paramount Theatre<br \/>May 1 \u2013 Lincoln, CA @ Thunder Valley Casino Resort<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This past Friday was a dream that so many of us probably wish we could\u2019ve experienced in real&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216,137613],"class_list":{"0":"post-608830","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-queens-of-the-stone-age"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
