Queens Of The Stone Age have performed live with their former bass player Nick Oliveri for the first time since 2014.
Josh Homme's QOTSA welcomed Oliveri to the stage during their show at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center in California on Friday night (April 24).
Homme introduced Oliveri as “one of the people that I love dearly” before they launched into Auto Pilot from the band's hit 2000 album Rated R, with Oliveri on vocals.

Oliveri was a member of Kyuss alongside Homme and joined his friend in QOTSA in 1998. He played on Rated R and its hugely successful follow-up, 2002's Songs for the Deaf.
He was fired by the band in 2004, although he provided vocals for the band's track If I Had a Tail from 2013 album …Like Clockwork.
Oliveri has previously spoken of his pride over his contributions to QOTSA.
He told Metal Hammer: "I’m very proud of the stuff I did with Queens. Fortunately I haven’t done anything musically I don’t like. But the Queens stuff was great, I can hold my head up and feel good about it.
"We worked together very well and I’m sure we’ll do some stuff in the future. I always leave stuff like that open down the road. But it was crazy successful, and all new for us and we hadn’t experienced it before. A bit scary as well."
QOTSA will join Foo Fighters on a North American tour starting in August.
