The Queen guitarist revealed in September 2024 that he suffered a “minor stroke” and temporarily lost movement in his left arm. This week, May shared a health update in an interview with Alan Titchmarsh on ITV’s Love Your Weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve been lucky, I get these things, but I seem to be able to get out of them. They give you a wake-up call,” said the 77-year-old rock icon on the series, according to<\/a> multiple<\/a> outlets<\/a>.<\/p>\n May explained he’s now placing more of a focus on his health. “I keep moving, I do my biking a lot of times a week,” he said. “I do a hundred lengths in the pool once a week. To me, that’s what’s keeping me going. That’s what’s keeping me alive.”<\/p>\n Doctors have said he’s “doing the right things,” according to May. “So, for now, I’m still here,” he said.<\/p>\n In September 2024, May detailed the stroke in a video on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>. “They called it a minor stroke, and all of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn\u2019t have any control of this arm,” he said at the time. “It was a little scary, I have to say.”<\/p>\n He opened up further about the experience, noted that he was taken to the hospital with “blue lights” flashing \u2014\u00a0joking that it was “very exciting” \u2014\u00a0and doctors gave him “the most fantastic care and attention.”<\/p>\n “I didn\u2019t wanna say anything at the time because I didn\u2019t want anything surrounding it, I really don\u2019t want sympathy,” said May. “Please don\u2019t do that, because it\u2019ll clutter up my inbox, and I hate that. The good news is I\u2019m okay.”<\/p>\n Miikka Skaffari\/Getty<\/p>\n Brian May in November 2023<\/p>\n Since suffering the stroke, May has returned to the stage \u2014 notably twice alongside Benson Boone over the past year at Coachella and in London.<\/p>\n The Queen member has endured several health scares in the past, including a heart attack in May 2020<\/a>.
