Queen guitarist Brian May found himself at the hospital the other day after he tore a gluteus maximus muscle (that’s a butt muscle for those of you not familiar with latin medical terminology.
In fact, May says he did a pretty “thorough job” of shredding it…. in “a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening.”
We don’t think that’s a euphemism for anything.
He’s going to be okay, but he needs a little respite. “I need to go dark for a while, getting some complete rest, at home. Please, please don’t send me sympathy. I just need some healing silence for a while. I’ll be back, but I need the complete break. OK? Thanks. Take care out there.”
May should be really glad he’s not a drummer for Spinal Tap. Far worse things have happened in a “bizarre gardening accident.”
