Queen’s Brian May Says That He Suffered a ‘Minor Stroke’ and Lost Temporary Control of His Arm: ‘It Was a Little Scary’


Queen lead guitarist Brian May reveals he suffered a 'minor stroke,' stating that 'it was a little scary.'

Queen lead guitarist Brian May is on the road to recovery after he suffered a “minor stroke” last week where he lost temporary control over his arm. “The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days, and 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,” he says. May co-founded Queen with the late lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor, and contributed to iconic songs including “We Will Rock You” and “The Show Must Go On.” In 2022, the group released “The Miracle” box set, an expanded eight-disc reissue of the 1989 album featuring previously unreleased tracks.
