Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed he came "very close to death" after suffering a "minor heart attack" following his recent accident at home while gardening.
In an Instagram video, the legendary musician gave updates on his health condition after the accident. May revealed that he was "in agony" from the accident, which caused nerve damage (literally).
Furthermore, it reveals that doctors discovered he had congested three arteries after the incident, meaning he had a minor heart attack that did no harm to the guitarist, however, it left him "very close to death," according to the doctors.
In the video caption, May wrote, “My medical adventures! Hmm… 'Sheer Heart Attack' then? Well, I guess I always worried a little about that album title. I wondered if it might upset some people who actually had heart attacks. I’m really relieved now that I’m in that club – and I don’t find it disturbing at all!”, the musician jokes about the title of Queen’s 1974 album, Sheer Heart Attack .
“Take care, friends. And… why did those discs in my spine get so crushed? Well, I guess 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 was probably all worth it! Bri,” May concludes.
