Queen guitarist Brian May took to Instagram to post a 7 minute long video titled “Sheer Heart Attack,” a reference to Queen’s third album.
My medical adventures !
Hmm … Sheer Heart Attack eh ? Well, I think I always worried a little bit about that album title. I wondered if it might upset some people who had actually had heart attacks. I’m actually quite relieved now that I’m in that club – and I don’t find it upsetting at all ! Take. care folks. And … why did those discs in my spine get so squished? Well I think 50 years of running around with a guitar strap over my left shoulder holding a heavy guitar might have something to do with it ! But it probably WAS all worth it ! Bri
In the video (watch below), May explains that what began with a torn muscle, turned into heart surgery where he was fitted with 3 small stents (tiny tubes that can hold open blocked arteries).
“I thought I was a very healthy guy. But I turned out to have three arteries that were congested and in danger of blocking the supply of blood to my heart.”
May continues in the video to explain that he is back in full health now:
“I walked out with a heart that’s very strong now, so I think I’m in good shape for some time to come.”
