Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme broke the habit of a lifetime by snubbing alcohol during a gig in Texas this week - because he wanted to enjoy a surprise slot by Arctic Monkeys.

The No One Knows hitmaker regularly drinks ahead of and during performances - but was desperate to watch the British band in action.

He says, "Watching them play was my highlight of the whole night. They're a really great live band - they're like a tight little spring, you know? I didn't even get tipsy because I was too busy watching them play!"
