Ex-Queens Of The Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri will rejoin his old band for the second time this year during their Halloween show at The Forum in Los Angeles.
One of the most instantly recognisable faces (and figures) in rock, Olivieri left the band in 2004, although joined Queens for the first time in a decade on stage on 15 April in Portland.
Speaking to NME, Oliveri said: "Josh asked me to come up and do six songs with Queens, like an encore set. A reunion, but not a reunion. I’m going to get up and play some bass and sing some songs at the end of the show. It should be an interesting night."
Asked about rejoinging the band on a permanent basis, Oliveri was more pragmatic. "That’s pretty much up to Josh. It’s his band, and when he pulls the trigger on something, it’s up to him. I put myself out there a few different times in the past 10 years at Queens shows. I’d go and see them play and say, ‘Hey man, I’m here! Do you want me to sing a song?’ I stopped asking him after a while, and then he asked me! It’s pretty much just when he wants to do something, these days. It’s not up to me, is what I’m saying."
Nick Oliveri released his first solo album 'Leave Me Alone' on 15 September and plays Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff on 5 November.
Queens Of The Stone Age host The End Of The Road Festival at The Forum in Los Angeles on Friday 31 October, with The Kills and Nick Oliveri. For tickets on the Queens Of The Stone Age shows click here.
