Remember when Josh Homme and Matt Helders had the best Halloween ever?

The Queens Of The Stone Age frontman and Arctic Monkeys drummer joined members of Eagles Of Death Metal, The xx & Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the wildest spooky bash ever.

Halloween is once more upon us, so let's cast our minds back to one of the all-time great parties.

Back in 2017, Josh Homme and Matt Helders celebrated spooky season in the best way a rock star can: by being surrounded by other rock stars!

The Queens Of The Stone Age singer and Arctic Monkeys sticksman attended a party in L.A, where they were dressed as cult American painter Bob Ross and Queen's Brian May respectively.

The party was hosted by Homme's QOTSA bandmate Troy Van Leeuwen and was also attended by the frontman's now estranged wife Brody Dalle and his Eagles Of Death Metal colleague Jesse Hughes, who appeared in full-on Frankenstein garb.
