Them Crooked Vultures singer Josh Homme has said the band are confident they will return with a second album.

Homme said there “isn't a reason” that the group, which also stars Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, wouldn't record a follow-up to their 2009 self-titled debut.

"We love playing in this (band)" Homme told BBC 6 Music.

"We have such a good time together and it's fun and it feels like we're obligated to risk and challenge ourselves. It's such a rewarding risk to take you know, it's like high tension wire."

Drummer Grohl has previously expressed his interest in returning to the studio with the band.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Them Crooked Vultures will feature at next month's Teenage Cancer Trust gig series in London.

The group will perform at the Royal Albert Hall on March 22.
