Since we are stuck at home, we are trying to find new ways to keep ourselves occupied. Brian May, the guitarist from Queen, decided to do some gardening, and it has become a literal pain in the ass for him.
May explained what happened, “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.”
Then he added, “…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.”
I know I can’t be the only one who is wondering how he did that. Then again, I don’t garden, so can you gardeners tell me what went wrong and why he won’t be saying, “I want to ride my bicycle” anytime soon.
