Yeah, you read it right: Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme will be reading the nation’s little ones a bedtime story next month. Lovely stuff.
Having confirmed the news in an interview last month, details of Homme’s appearance on kids’ channel, CBeebies have been provided by the BBC.
The 44-year-old will be reading Julia Donaldson’s Zog – a story about an accident-prone dragon and a princess who would rather be a doctor – on the channel’s Bedtime Story show. It will air on October 6 at 6.50pm.
As well as this, the BBC have confirmed that Homme has also recorded two more stories to be broadcast at some point in the future.
Our most rock n' roll reader yet 🤘

Homme is, of course, not the first familiar face to be appearing on Bedtime Story. At the end of last year, Tom Hardy – accompanied by his late dog, Woody (RIP) – read You Must Bring a Hat, by Simon Philip and Kate Hindley. His appearance proved especially popular with mums up and down the land. We’ve no idea why…
