Them Crooked Vultures will perform a one-off gig in London next month, it's been announced.

The band, which features Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, will play Brixton Academy on July 5.

Proceeds from the gig will be contributed to a fund set up to assist Eagles of Death Metal bassist Brian O'Connor, who has been diagnosed with cancer.

O'Connor, who is a friend of Homme, is without medical insurance.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (June 18) at 9am.
