Queen legend Brian May rushed to hospital after suffering from a stroke

Queen legend Brian May said: “I'm here to bring you some good news - the good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days,' he said, twiddling his fingers for emphasis.

“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.'

Despite the ‘minor stroke’ leaving him temporarily unable to use his left arm, he described the emergency ambulance journey to Frimley Hospital in Surrey as ‘very exciting.’ Sir Brian May also thanked the staff at the hospital and said they gave him the ‘most fantastic care.’

Sir Brian May also revealed that he didn’t want to “say anything at the time because I didn’t want anything surrounding, you know. I really don’t want sympathy.”

He then said: “Please don’t do that because I’ll clutter up my inbox and I hate that.”

In 2020, Sir Brian May was reportedly ‘near death’ after suffering a heart attack. When he was taken to hospital for the heart attack, he revealed that he was treated as an ‘emergency case’ and had three stents. He appeared on Good Morning Britain and said: “I nearly lost my life.”

Sir Brian May also revealed on Good Morning Britain that “It was pretty bad, and the complications that came afterwards were pretty bad.”

“It’s been a big mountain to climb to get back up to strength again but it’s become my new religion, really. I just exercise, I do my cardio rehab every day,”
