Billy Gibbons is set to appear on the new Queens Of The Stone Age album.
Speaking at France’s Hellfest, where ZZ Top were appearing, Gibbons revealed that he recently recorded with QOTSA mainman Josh Homme and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters.
"Just one month ago I was making a record with Queens of the Stone Age", Gibbons told eonmusic. "And Dave Grohl was also taking part and he decided to have a big barbecue. So there was this interesting gathering. So, we spent one hour telling stories, great stories remembering these lovely guys.”
The untitled album is the follow-up to 2017’s Villains, which was voted Classic Rock’s Album Of The Year.
ZZ Top are currently touring Europe as part of their 50th anniversary celebration. They begin a US tour in August.
