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

I do remember an anecdote from Churchill when they informed him that an aide would have to resign because he was caught banging a guard on an iron bench in Hyde Park.
Of course, Churchill agreed to the dismissal, but he had to remark "Outdoors on an iron bench in Hyde Park in February? Doesn't it make you just a little proud to be British?"
“Gardening” is that what they are calling it now?
Yeah, that might be good! We might get a glimpse of a few snowflakes pulling their hair out or making ‘Exorcist’ type agony sounds after seeing the great Archie Bunker!
See post #50 Vig.
By the title, I was wondering what kind of gardener did Queen Elizabeth have.
Was he using it to pull weeds?!!
So, that’s what they call it these days.
Million to one shot, doc
This isn’t a time for jokes. He has serious butt-hurt!
Uh, it’s okay Brian. Really. They don’t really care what you do with your behind these days.
Yeah, there was no percentage in being a Spinal Tap drummer.
The one who went via the gardening accident was probably the luckiest.
Punk POS.
Decades of nubile groupies and a garden gnome does him in. Indeed.
He was getting a little behind in his work
>>>He was getting a little behind in his work<<<
Actually, I think somebody else was.
Honestly it’s easy to do. I threw out my back digging a trench. One bag of soil that’s heavier than you can pick up and blammo. One of the things that sucks most about aging is that ever growing list of what you used to could do but not anymore. Cause you mostly only find out by hurting yourself.
