Queen legend Brian May reveals he suffered a stroke which left him with 'no control' over his arm

Queen guitarist Sir Brian May has revealed he has suffered a stroke that left him unable to use his arm.

The legendary musician, astrophysicist and animal rights campaigner, 77, made the announcement in a video shared on his personal website earlier today.

However, Sir Brian – who looked animated and well in the video blog despite the ‘scary’ medical episode – he said he can still play guitar following what he called his ‘little health hiccup’.

‘I’m here to bring you some good news – the good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days,’ he said, twiddling his fingers for emphasis.

‘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.’
