Allstar News , May, 2001 NEWS BITES: QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, LANEGAN Early last month, erstwhile Screaming Tree Mark Lanegan
decided to join his pals in Queens of the Stone Age for their current
European tour, which kicks off Saturday (June 2) in the Netherlands. According
to Lanegan's then-manager Greg Werckman, the moody singer only planned
to sing a few numbers with the band, then pack up at the end of June and
return to L.A. to concentrate on a new project with former Afghan Whig
Greg Dulli. But the plans have changed. Not only has Lanegan engaged the
services of new manager Brian Klein, but it now appears that he's joined
the Queens army for "at least a year," according to insiders. While no
one is saying whether he'll become a permanent member of the band, he
will appear on the band's next album, which it will begin recording in
July. "It looks like Mark will sing three of four songs, Josh [Homme]
will sing three or four songs, and Nick [Oliveri] will sing two or three."
