Brian May Recovering From Small Stroke

Well, this is upsetting. Queen guitarist Brian May announced earlier today that he is recovering from a "small" stroke. He wasn't able to use his left arm after the incident last week but apparently things are better for him now.

“The good news is that I can play guitar,” May says in the video below. He called the stroke a "health hiccup" and notes that he is resting now. He isn't allowed to drive or fly or do anything strenuous. I wish him a full recovery!

Brian May Releases New Star Fleet Project Video

To celebrate the re-release of his Star Fleet Project, guitarist Brian May is pushing out some new and old video clips of the band at work.

The re-release is a 40th anniversary celebration of Brian May's solo side project. When May went out to recruit musicians for his Star Fleet Project, he probably didn't quite know what to expect - or have any idea of what the all-star group would produce. Of course, the biggest get was Eddie Van Halen.

The special reissue features lots of musical outtakes and behind-the-scenes conversations between the musicians. For Queen fanatics - or just guitar nuts in general - getting this reissue on vinyl seems like a no-brainer.
