Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Brian May suffers 'minor' stroke

Caption: The 77-year-old guitarist revealed in a video that after being rushed to hospital a week ago, after he became unable to use his left arm, he is now ‘doing good’. "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!" Brian explained that he kept his health news quiet because he didn't "want sympathy" or to have well-wishes "clutter(ing) his inbox". The Don't Stop Me Now hitmaker noted that he has to take it easy while he recovers from his "health hiccup". "So, good news is I'm okay. Just doing what I'm told which is basically nothing. 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.".
