Brian May says life gave him a serious jolt last year. The 77-year-old Queen guitarist revealed he suffered a minor stroke in 2024 that briefly robbed him of control in his left arm. In a new interview, he said the scare was a major wake-up call, and he’s doubled down on taking care of himself — biking several times a week and knocking out 100 pool lengths every week to keep his engine running. Doctors told him he’s doing everything right, and he joked, “So, for now, I’m still here.” May originally shared the news last September, calling the stroke “a little scary” and admitting he was rushed to the hospital with lights blazing — which he joked was “very exciting.” He praised the medical staff for exceptional care but kept the episode quiet at the time because he didn’t want sympathy or inbox clutter. Since then, he’s bounced back onstage, performing twice with Benson Boone at Coachella and in London.
