Josh Homme has issued a second apology after kicking a photographer in the head while on stage in Los Angeles. Chelsea Lauren was treated in the city's Cedars-Sinai Hospital after Homme kicked her camera when she was in the photographer's pit at the LA Forum on Saturday.

Homme was playing with his band, Queens of the Stone Age, as part of a Christmas show hosted by Californian rock radio station, KROQ-FM. 

Video footage shows Homme ambling around the stage before aiming a kick at Lauren in the pit. 

The 44-year-old posted a video apology through the band's social media channels last night, in which he explained that he was "truly sorry" and counted the incident among the "mistakes in my life". After naming Lauren and apologising to her, he went on to say sorry to his family and band mates because, he said, "I want to be a good man, but I think last night I definitely failed at that".
This is the second apology issued by Queens of the Stone Age about the situation. After the show on Saturday night the band's Twitter account posted a written statement that was decried by many for being insufficient, as Homme appeared to try and deflect responsibility for the attack, instead blaming it on "being lost in performance".
Homme's friend, US celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, was among those dismissive of Homme's original apology, posting on Twitter: "Senseless. And a weak ass apology".

Lauren shared her experiences on her Instagram page, first with video footage of the assault, and then in a series of photographs taken just before Homme kicked her.
