OHMYGOSSIP — Brian May is “grateful to be alive” after a “catalogue” of health scares.
The legendary Queen guitarist suffered a heart attack and a near-fatal allergic reaction to his medication earlier this year and admitted he was lucky to survive.
Brian said: “It was pretty bad and the complications that came afterwards were pretty bad.
“It’s been a big mountain to get up to strength again but it’s become my new religion really.
“I’m happy to be alive because three years ago, that wouldn’t have happened. I had three stents in me, which are working just fine and I feel good.”
The 73-year-old rocker revealed that he was left in “excruciating pain” when he suffered a stomach haemorrhage as a result of the allergic reaction due to his stents.
He explained: “That’s the point I nearly lost my life really, if anyone wants to talk about it get in touch with me.
“Stents are good for the heart, but it isn’t good for the body … the worst thing I had was a stomach haemorrhage, I lost a lot of blood.
“I couldn’t get off the floor, I couldn’t move … the pain was excruciating, I couldn’t do the operation at the time. The heart operation was a doddle compared to this.”
Brian revealed that he “wasn’t ruling out” the possibility that his heart attack came as a result of having coronavirus without realising it.
Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, he said: “It’s possible because the virus does thicken the blood, a lot of people get heart attacks or strokes.
“The only thing is I don’t tick any of the boxes for a heart attack, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. It’s only a theory, I don’t know.”
