The British rockstar guitarist is well known for his amazing head of hair and musical talent.

He is one of only two original Queen band members left, and at age 77, he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

However, he has had a few health scares in the last few years.

Sir Brian shocked fans recently when he shared a video on Instagram saying that he had to be hospitalised about a week ago.

He shares more details including that the doctors said he had suffered a "minor stroke" and he lost control of his left arm.

The musician was rushed to hospital after he noticed he had no normal feeling in his arm.

Luckily, he also reassured fans that he has since gained more control of his arm and that he can once again play guitar, although he jokes that he has been "grounded".

May will be staying at home while he heals, rests, and recovers for the time being.
