Brian May reveals in video message to fans that he suffered a stroke
Queen lead guitarist Brian May is on the road to recovery after suffering a "mini stroke" last week, temporarily losing control of his arm.
In a video on his website, the 77-year-old says he was taken to hospital after experiencing symptoms of a stroke, but is on the mend thanks to the help of his care team.
"The good news is that I can play the guitar after the events of the last few days, and I say that because I wasn't entirely sure about that little health issue that I mentioned that happened about a week ago and what they called a mini stroke," he says. "And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I had no control of that arm. So it was a little scary, I have to say, I've had the most fantastic care and attention from the hospital that I was at. Blue lights flashing, the whole thing, very exciting. I can post a video if you want."
