The guitarist, 77, shared the news via an Instagram post on Wednesday, September 4, revealing that the health scare happened “about a week ago.”

“The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days,” May said. “I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago …

what they called it was a minor stroke.” “All of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn’t have any control of [my left] arm.

So it’s a little scary,” he continued, adding that he had the “most fantastic care and attention” from staff at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, England.

May said, “I didn’t want to say anything at the time because I didn’t want anything surrounding [it]. I really don’t want sympathy. Please don’t do that because it’ll clutter up my inbox and I hate that.”
