‘Queen' Guitarist Brian May updates fans on health battle

Brian May has revealed he had a stroke, which was minor and the repercussions of the stroke temporarily affected his left arm, so much so that “all of a sudden out of the blue I didn't have any control over this arm. It was a little scary I have to say.”

While updating fans about his health in an Instagram post, the musician revealed that ‘luckily’ he can still play guitar and said, "I'm here to bring you some good news I think. The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days."

He further added, saying, "I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago and what they called it was a minor stroke."

The 77-year-old artist is now recovering at home. Upon his sudden deteriorating health, an ambulance was called, and he was rushed to Frimley Hospital in Surrey, England.

The legendary guitarist described the experience as ‘exciting’ and expressed his gratitude to healthcare workers for taking immense care of him and said, “I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital. Blue lights flashing. Very exciting, I have to say. I might post you a video."

Previously, the guitarist had a heart attack in May 2020. It was a “very near death” experience for him. This incident happened after ripping his gluteus maximus muscle during gardening at home.
