There’s loads of stuff I need to do. And there’s lots of people I need to do this with.”

Along with the most cancers revelation, Homme mentioned his oftentimes messy public divorce and custody battle with Brody Dalle, which he described as an enormous contributor to “the darkest 4 years of my life.”

It’s not OK to remain there, really feel too sorry for myself. This has been the darkest 4 years of my life. However that’s OK, too. Within the heartaches, my errors, these deaths and my very own bodily issues I’m coping with — although all that has occurred and smashed my outdated life to items, these items I’ve been in a position to construct right into a ship that’s about to launch.
