GET WELL: Queen Guitarist Brian May Tore a Butt Muscle While Gardening

Put a six-string in his hands and QUEEN guitarist BRIAN MAY is an IMMORTAL GOD.  But when he’s off the clock, he’s a mortal, just like you and me.  A 72-year-old mortal at that.

Brian found himself at the hospital the other day after he tore a gluteus maximus muscle . . . a.k.a. a BUTT MUSCLE.  In fact, he says he did a pretty “thorough job” of SHREDDING it.

And how did he do it?  He blames, quote, “a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening.”  (Sounds like a Spinal Tap injury to me.)

He’s going to be okay, but he needs a little R&R.  He says, quote, “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.”

Reality check ! For me. No – the Virus didn’t get me yet – thank God. Hope you’re all keeping extra-safe out there. A decision to relax controls doesn’t suddenly make the danger go away. But me ?? Yes, I’ve been quiet. Reason ? As well as getting over-stretched and harassed by too many demands … I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening. So suddenly I find myself in a hospital getting scanned to find out exactly how much I’ve actually damaged myself. Turns out I did a thorough job – this is a couple of days ago – and I won’t be able to walk for a while … or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless. So, folks … 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. Bri
