It's been three weeks since the death of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain — and tributes are still pouring in.
On Saturday, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme shared a touching letter that Anthony Bourdain wrote to his daughter, who is now 12.
Homme featured in "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" in 2011, where the pair explored the food and culture of the Californian High Desert.
In the promo for the show, Bourdain grabs a guitar that Homme's playing and smashes it against a tree — a skit that didn't sit well with the musician's young daughter.
Hearing his daughter was upset, Bourdain wrote a touching letter to then-5-year-old Camille apologising for the stunt.
"Dear Camille, I hear you were very upset with me after seeing the promo for this show, which I filmed recently with your Daddy and his friends," wrote Bourdain. "You saw me take Daddy's guitar and smash it against a tree and I'm sure that was upsetting. That this was in fact a not so subtle homage to the early works of John Landis and John Belushi is something you could have hardly been expected to know, Animal House having been released long before you were born, and I apologize."
"Know that that was in fact, not really Daddy's guitar, and that we were both just playing around," he continued. "In real life, Daddy would have been very angry were I to do such a thing — and as he is a large man, I strongly suspect I would not still be here to write this letter. I like your Daddy very much. We are friends."
Homme shared the letter in full on the Queen of the Stone Age's Twitter account with the caption: "Tony, I miss you bad. Once, Camille was so mad at you. She was defending me. & So were you. Ariane, this was your father. Humbly yours, Joshua."

"No Reservations" aired on the Travel Channel for seven years before reaching its conclusion in 2012. Homme also helped provide the theme music for Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" series.
