Despite this health setback, the 77-year-old reassured his followers that he can still play the guitar, even though he temporarily lost the use of his left arm.
In the video, May expressed his gratitude towards the staff at Frimley Hospital in Surrey, where he was taken by ambulance after the stroke. He praised the care he received and emphasized that he did not want sympathy from his fans, as he prefers to focus on his recovery without unnecessary distractions.
