Brian May landed in the hospital this week, but not because of anything coronavirus-related.
On Wednesday, the Queen guitarist and astrophysicist shared an Instagram from the hospital wearing a face mask revealing that he tore his butt muscles "to shreds" while gardening.
"The Virus didn’t get me yet - thank God," May, 72, wrote in the caption. "I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening. So suddenly I find myself in a hospital getting scanned to find out exactly how much I’ve actually damaged myself. Turns out I did a thorough job - this is a couple of days ago - and I won’t be able to walk for a while ... or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless."
May says that he needs "to go dark for a while, getting some complete rest, at home" due to his injury. "Please, please don’t send me sympathy - I just need some healing silence for a while," he says. "I’ll be back - but I need the complete break."
Along with the selfie, May also shared a video of him being rolled through the hospital. Check out his post below:

Reality check ! For me. No - the Virus didn’t get me yet - thank God. Hope you’re all keeping extra-safe out there. A decision to relax controls doesn’t suddenly make the danger go away. But me ?? Yes, I’ve been quiet. Reason ? As well as getting over-stretched and harassed by too many demands ... I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening. So suddenly I find myself in a hospital getting scanned to find out exactly how much I’ve actually damaged myself. Turns out I did a thorough job - this is a couple of days ago - and I won’t be able to walk for a while ... or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless. So, folks ... I need to go dark for a while, getting some complete rest, at home. Please, please don’t send me sympathy - I just need some healing silence for a while. I’ll be back - but I need the complete break. OK ? Thanks. Take care out there. Bri
Good post. Real important news.
Hey, I’ve done it.
Gardening is painful anymore.
Sounds like he got beet!
I always wanted to see that pic with Bloomberg’s head photo-shopped in.
What an arrogant dumb ass.
He better be careful. His band mate died of a butt related malady.
To shreds? thats some violent gardening if you ask me
Who knew peonies could be so hard?
“Queen’s Brian May hospitalized after ripping butt muscles ‘to shreds’ “

Queen and ripped butt muscles. Too easy and kinda crude, so make your own jokes.
He got to the root of the problem. So what did he do? Turn to much soil with his butt checks! What a ditz.
Good grief, this seems hard to believe. Who doesn’t get butt exercise every day, if by nothing else but walking?
Having said that, I had a torn piriformis muscle once (same general area) and it was awful getting in and out of the car. I’ve been doing stretching ever since.
So now he’s laying in the flower bed until he feels better. That sucks in such fine weather. Iris him well and will prayer plant for him.
I’ve never done that when gardening-neither has anyone I know-shoulder, arm, knee strains, yeah-but not an ass. Sounds like a bedroom accident involving a probably-much-younger woman he was trying to impress...
Violets can be violent. Good thing he didn’t mess with the pawpaw tree or he’d be more embarrassed.
Fell on a garden rake (tines up)
A wussified puke that has butt ache from gardening and has to go to a hospital to get checked out for a muscle pain. Pathetic
He’s a Torie! Be nice people! Lol.
Uhh, he’s English.
Remember what Archie Bunker said about England.
