Josh Homme Apologises For Homophobic Slur

Although frontman Josh Homme insists he said nothing wrong...

Friday 20th Jun 2008

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.
