Author Benedetta Baldin - 5.9.2024

Brian May of Queen reports that he had a mild stroke last week. He sought medical help after noticing he abruptly lost control of his arm, as he explained to fans in a video. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that about 795,000 Americans suffer from strokes each year. Although May, a resident of the United Kingdom, is not included in that data, it does demonstrate how frequently that kind of health problem can occur. May stated he’s recovered and can still play the guitar in spite of the news. He made the quip that he didn’t want well wishes to “clutter up his inbox,” therefore he isn’t requesting them. May declared that he would stick to the advice of medical experts.

We won’t clutter up his inbox, but still, on behalf of the Chaoszine team, we wish all the best to Sir Brian May!
