Brian May of Queen says his stroke in 2024 was a big wake-up call. Brian, who is now 77, said the minor stroke caused him to temporarily lose movement in his left arm.

He has since recovered, but says it was a wake-up call and that now he is more focused on his health and taking care of himself.

He told People Magazine, “I keep moving, I do my biking a lot of times a week,” he said. “I do a hundred lengths in the pool once a week. To me, that’s what’s keeping me going. That’s what’s keeping me alive.”

This isn’t the first health scare the rocker has battled through. Brian says he’s been through several health scares in the past, including a heart attack in May 2020. He also underwent “a little bit of eye surgery” in 2021, saying he nearly died of “shocking” complications from heart attack medication, according to People.

We’re just glad he’s doing much better and he’s been back on stage a few times since his stroke. Keep on rockin’ Brian!
