In the most bizarre news story of the week, rock legend and Queen founding member Brian May has been hospitalized after an “over-enthusiastic” day of gardening that left his rump with some torn muscles!
See guys, it’s like I always say — stay inside! The outdoors are dangerous mmkay?!
Who knew gardening was an extreme sport?!
When May posted a photo of himself in the hospital with a surgical mask on on Wednesday, fans were immediately concerned!

“Reality check ! For me. No – the Virus didn’t get me yet – thank God,” he assured fans.
“Hope you’re all keeping extra-safe out there.”
He continued: “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.”
He continued: “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.”

OMG, poor guy 🙁
“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.
You hear that guys?! Brian does not want your pity party!!!
He concluded by telling his fans he needed a break, “I’ll be back – but I need the complete break. OK ? Thanks. Take care out there. Bri.”

We’re sending Brian good vibes and hoping for a speedy recovery!
