Queen rocker Brian May shared a photo on his Instagram page of himself with crutches, ahead of revealing he’d suffered a heart attack.
In the picture, the 72-year-old was snapped enjoying the sunshine as he took a break on a countryside walk.
Perching on a bench, Brian propped a pair of crutches in front of himself, as he beamed at the camera.
He captioned the shot: “My first walk in the park since this all began. My … the air feels good ! Sky is blue – sun is clear and bright and warm and the breeze is cool. White fluffy cloud scud over my head.
“But I’m dependent on these ‘crutch’ devices to get around. There’s always ONE snag !! Well, not for long, hopefully. I’ve been through these scrapes plenty of times before.
“They make you stronger, right ?! If they don’t kill ya !! Well, I’m not planning to check out just yet !!! Rock on out there !! Isolate !!! Photo by Phil Webb, who bought me an ice cream – Thanks Phil – lovely day !!! Bri”
The country stroll came ahead of Brian revealing he’d suffered a heart attack in a candid video today.
Addressing his 2.4million Instagram followers, Brian said: “I was shocked, I thought I was a healthy guy. In the middle of the whole saga of the painful backside, I had a small heart attack.
“It was about 40 minutes of pain in the chest, the arms, sweating. My wonderful doctor drove me to the hospital himself.”
The guitarist explained he had an angiogram – an X-ray used to examine blood vessels – where medical staff discovered that three of his arteries were blocked and he may have to undergo open heart surgery.
However, Brian admitted he went for the alternative which was to have three stents put inside his heart and is currently recovering at home.
