Josh: I felt at Homme in the Paris Catacombs

WHEN Queens Of The Stone Age rocked a mas- sive tomb, frontman Josh Homme was tempted to stay... for ever.

- 

The band recently released Alive In The Catacombs, recorded in the underground Paris chambers that hold the remains of more than six million people.

The project coincided with a serious illness for Josh, who connected with the macabre setting.

He said: "At one point, everyone left for lunch and I just couldn't get back up the stairs. I couldn't move.

"So I chose to lie down in this dark, blind hallway and I thought, 'Well, there are over six million people here. If I'm ever going to be haunted, now's the time!

"And to be honest, I felt so welcomed. Almost too welcomed.
