Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has discussed the decision to rework ‘Sunday’, his collaboration with Iggy Pop, for the band’s ninth studio album, ‘Perfecth’. Released on 30 October 2026 through Matador Records, the album features a new interpretation of the track, which originally appeared on Pop’s 2016 collaborative record ‘Post Pop Depression’. Speaking to NME for its In Conversation series, Homme explained that he liked the song so much when he first wrote it that he briefly considered keeping it for himself. However, when he arrived at the recording session the following morning, he told Pop that he wanted to give everything he had to the project. He described the song as something that belonged to both of them, suggesting that either artist could revisit it in the future. Homme said the new version suited the sound he wanted for ‘Perfecth’, which needed something lively and bubbling with the character of 1970s French disco. He also compared the arrangement's underlying concept to David Bowie's 1983 version of ‘China Girl’, a song originally recorded by Pop and Bowie for Pop's 1977 album ‘The Idiot’. Joking about Pop's reaction to the updated recording, Homme initially claimed that the singer hated it before clarifying that the band had received his blessing. He also praised Pop as a uniquely individual figure in rock music, describing his ability to remain authentic and endure throughout his career as particularly remarkable. Asked whether they might collaborate again, Homme said he would always welcome Pop, but stressed that such projects cannot be forced and should happen naturally when the time is right. The interview also covered the influence of Queens Of The Stone Age's ‘Catacombs’ tour, the band's growing unity during the writing process and plans for their upcoming live performances. Their 2026 schedule includes dates in the United States, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, followed by a March 2027 co-headline concert with Interpol in Mexico City. Further US and European dates are planned, with UK shows expected to be announced. ‘Perfecth’ received a four-star review from NME, which described it as the band's most intimate and adventurous work to date.
