Legendary Queen lead guitarist Brian May recently suffered a “minor” stroke.
In a video posted to his official website on Tuesday (9.03,) the now 77-year old musician confirmed the news that he was rushed to hospital a week ago after he became unable to use his left arm.
Reassuring fans that he’s now doing “good” and demonstrating his guitar-playing skills, the legendary rocker said:
“The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days.” “I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago. What they called it was a minor stroke and all of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn’t have any control over this arm so it was a little scary, I have to say.” “I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital where I went. Blue lights flashing… the lot. Very exciting!”
Explaining that he kept his health news quiet because he didn’t “want sympathy” or to have well-wishes “clutter(ing) his inbox,” the original member of Queen added that he has to take it easy while recovering from his “health hiccup.” “So, good news is I’m okay. Just doing what I’m told which is basically nothing,” he shared. “I’m grounded, I’m not allowed to go out – well I’m not allowed to drive, not allowed to get on a plane, not allowed to raise the heart rate too high… But I’m good.”
