Meet Brian May's 'incredible' wife of 23 years who 'saved his life': How ex-EastEnders actress Anita Dobson, 75, offered support as Queen guitarist, 77, reveals he suffered a stroke


Brian's wife of 23 years Anita Dobson has been a constant support at his side and nursed him at his bedside after he struggled with his health.

Anita, 75, who played Angie Watts on EastEnders, has been at Brian side throughout his setbacks and even saved his life when she acted promptly after he suffered a heart attack in 2020. On Wednesday, the shaken Queen guitarist, 77, announced he had suffered a stroke and was taken to Frimley Hospital in an ambulance a week ago following the medical emergency. The musician was recovering from a ripped muscle and trapped nerve as a result of a gardening injury, when he suffered a heart attack amid his recovery.
