Queen guitarist Brian May has shared a health update with fans, revealing that he recently suffered a stroke which left him without control of one arm.The musician took to social media to share news of the health scare with fans, confirming that he is also on the road to recovery.“I’m here to bring you first of all some news, I think.
The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days,” he began. “I say this because I was in some doubt, because a little health hiccup happened about a week ago.
What they called it was a ‘minor stroke’.”May went on to recall how the incident came on “all of a sudden, out of the blue”, and left him without any control over one of his arms. “It was a little scary.
I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital; blue lights flashing the lot, very exciting.”He continued, explaining why he waited until he was further down the line with his recovery before he shared the update with fans. “I didn’t wanna say anything at the time because I didn’t want anything surrounding it, I really don’t want sympathy.
