Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has defended himself against claims that he is homophobic, after referring to a unruly concert-goer as a "faggot".

The rocker reacted with fury when he was hit with a shoe during a gig in Norway last week, and unleashed a torrent of abuse at the culprit - calling him a "chicken shit fucking faggot" and "a miserable fucking c*nt".

Watch the clip below, but be warned - It is not for the faint hearted.



After he was criticised for using the term, Homme posted an open letter online, retaliating against the media who have villainised him.

It reads: "My gay family and friends, as well as myself, know I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice.

"You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong."

Josh’s angry tirade follows the controversy Shia LaBeouf caused when a video clip of him calling a friend the derogatory gay name surfaced online.
