Photographer Jeff Kravitz has tweeted that photographer Chelsea Lauren was not the only person allegedly injured due to Josh Homme’s behavior during Queens of the Stone Age’s performance in Los Angeles on Saturday at KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas Night 1.

“Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age sent two people to the medic. Photog @ChelseaLaurenLA and a security guard with head wounds. Check out Chelsea’s video.”

He also called The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers a hypocrite for telling photographers they can ‘feel safe’ when The Killers perform at Night 2 of Almost Acoustic Christmas.

“@BrandonFlowers we heard what you said about @thekillers loving photogs. This is ironic since you ban photographers from your shows. The only reason I was safe during your @kroq set was because I was on the 405 driving home while you were on stage. Give us a break with this BS.”

See Kravitz’s tweets below.

Josh Homme is under fire for kicking a photographer in the face during a performance in Los Angeles on Sunday, but the singer also cut himself on stage with a prop, and appeared to be slightly aroused with his bulge showing. He also flipped off the crowd, and said ‘fuck Muse.’ See video of Homme cutting himself, and photos of him bleeding and with his bulge showing below.

One fan wrote on Reddit:

Not too sure what was up with Josh tonight. Was at the show and pretty close, saw him cut his own forehead, didn’t initially see him kick the photographer (but just saw the video, it was intentional and fucked up).

He might’ve been drunk but you can ‘t really tell from the performance which was great.

He was also upset about how unresponsive like 90% of the crowd was. It was really a pretty horrible crowd for a Queens show. myself and my bud and like 2 other guys who we met in the pit were the only people rocking out! Everyone else was essentially mannequins! Of course when 30 seconds to mars comes out tho and plays a dumpster ass 5 song set, the crowded goes wild! Not sure WTF was going on tonight, but KROQ crowds are known to be pretty shitty.

Edit: grammar

Also the fuck ‘muse stuff’ I thought was funny, didn’t seem like he had anything against them. Was just frustrated the crowd wouldn’t loosen up and dance! Definitely danced the whole time during QOTSA set and barely at all during anyone else’s(royal blood might be the exception)

Was there pretty close and can confirm he cut himself on the forehead with a blade he pulled out of his pocket, he also ran it against his cheek first but it didn’t cut there, not sure if it was completely intentional or not tho.

Didn’t see him kicking the photographer tho, but heard from a couple people it happened.
