Brian May has said he is in "relentless pain" following a gardening mishap during lockdown.
"I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus* to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening," the Queen star explained in an Instagram post on Thursday.
May said he had to go to hospital for a scan and would not be able to walk without assistance for a while.
He said he would "need a complete break" while he recovered from the injury.

The Gluteus Maximus is the main extensor muscle of the hip. It is the largest and outermost of the three gluteal muscles and makes up a large part of the shape and appearance of each side of the hips. Its thick fleshy mass, in a quadrilateral shape, forms the prominence of the buttocks.
Brian Harold May, CBE ARCS (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, singer, songwriter, producer and astrophysicist. He is the lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. His songs include "We Will Rock You", "Tie Your Mother Down", "I Want It All", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Flash", "Hammer to Fall", "Save Me", "Who Wants to Live Forever" and "The Show Must Go On".

Re: Queen's Brian May rips Gluteus Maximus while gardening
Why does'nt one, have one's own gardener!?? Even The Queen has plenty of such chappies. Obviously, this Queen has fallen on hard times, if one forgives the rather dreadful pun!!
