TUESDAY, May 26, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Brian May, the 72-year-old guitarist for the rock band Queen, says he recently suffered a “small heart attack” and had three stents implanted.

In an Instagram video Monday, May said his doctor drove him to the hospital after he began having heart attack symptoms, the Associated Press reported.

He said he was shocked about having the heart attack, because “I thought I was a very healthy guy.”

May said the stent procedure was successful and he feels fine now. “I walked out with a heart that’s very strong now,” May said, the AP reported.
