Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed he had a stroke.
The 77-year-old musician said he was temporarily unable to use his arm after he had the minor stroke and received treatment at Frimley Hospital in Surrey.
“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 said.
“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.
“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.”
The guitarist said he didn’t want any sympathy from people. He said: “I didn’t want to say anything at the time because I didn’t want anything surrounding, you know. I really don’t want sympathy.”
