Brian May Recovering from Leg Surgery
Brian May shared that he is recovering from leg surgery, but the Queen guitarist made it clear that he is very much in good spirits.
May wrote on Instagram, “I’m done! After a snip to my calf muscle, I’m feeling good! The theory is that it will release the excess tension in my Achilles’ tendon and get me out of a painful heel situation I’ve been in for many months. I had the problem all through our last tour of the USA – and although adrenaline got me through, my running around was severely curtailed, and there were a couple of nights when I really couldn’t move at all around the stage (nobody noticed, it seems!). So now I’ll be taking it easy just a bit for a while, but full recovery should be just in time for getting back out on tour in January – hopefully with a good pair of heels! THANKS for your good wishes, folks. No cause for alarm.”
In a follow-up post, May wrote, “Thanks for your kind messages folks. I’m doing fine this morning – a little sore but home and ready for a relatively relaxing day. As you can see, everything still works! Still got my Sympathy Bandage and my anti-clot sock on – but they come off tonight. There’s a small band-aid underneath covering a very small incision. I actually CAN walk, but stairs are a bit of a challenge!! Onwards! Have a good day folks!”
Queen + Adam Lambert will be returning to touring in January 2020 with a series of dates in South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. A full list of tour dates can be found at QueenOnline.com.
