EXPRESS.CO.UK: Brian May Is "In Hospital" — But Q+AL Tour Will Go On! (UPDATE #2)

Filed Under () by broddybounce on Monday, December 2, 2019

Posted at : Monday, December 02, 2019

UPDATE (12/5/19):  Brian has written on his Instagram:  "Thanks folks !! I’m in good shape - my procedure - a GASTROCNEMIUS RELEASE - seems to have hit the spot. All credit to my amazing surgeon Mr Sinnett ! As you can see, my dancing is now back to ‘normal’ !!! Ha ha ! Yes - I’m a little tender around the calf, where the incision was made - but the principle of relieving the irritation on my Achilles Tendon by allowing this calf muscle to extend seems to be a very effective solution. Very clever. !! And so far ? Recommended !! I’ll keep you posted !! I’m HEELED !! Bri"

And here is the actual Instagram, for those who have an account:



From UK's EXPRESS:
"Fans who were lucky enough to see the North American tour dates, or who have seen the online footage, will be shocked by the news. Apparently the guitar legend was suffering on stage. May just posted an update for fans from his hospital bed with a heartfelt and typically honest message for everyone. And he made sure to stress he will be back better than ever."
 


ALSO:

We missed posting some absolutely lovely tweets/IGs (Instagram) of Brian's last week about Adam — possibly done while he was 'whiling away the hours' in the hospital?  (These are screenshots of tweets; actual IG links further below.)

UPDATE (12/3/19): We missed earlier that the tweets do not contain the entire text description that Brian wrote, which only could be found within the IG.  So, for those who don't have IG, we have included the full text descriptions below.

FULL TEXT FROM INSTAGRAM:  "Jeeeeez ! Just stumbled upon this stunning fragment on a fan site. Is this guy the nuts or what ?!! We’ll have the privilege of working with him again soon - once we get back in the saddle mid January for an audacious long haul around the world. This is @adamlambert - and thanks @adamlambert049 for the clip. Bri"

FULL TEXT FROM INSTAGRAM: "You know - I do sincerely wonder if, in the 7.7 Billion people on Planet Earth there is another voice quite like this. Yay ! I’m having an @adamlambert Adam Lambert evening !! Thanks to a fan account @adamlambert049 - thanks ! Wow - reeling from this totally live performance on the James Corden show. And ... do you feel like you’re watching a huge orchestral rock show ? This stupendous sound is just a voice and a piano !!! Yeeeow. Bri"
And for those who do have Instagram...

Sue Smith said...

Yes Brian please get well. Hopefully the operation will take that pain away.
Hope you have pain relief and will be back in good shape for the tour. Take care of you.

Adam looks awesome in the up coming Christmas special. https://headlineplanet.com/home/2019/12/01/early-look-adam-lambert-ne-yo-kelly-rowland-perform-during-a-home-for-the-holidays-with-idina-menzel/

Brian says he's much better now, no more pain on his heel ( he said no one noticed but had this pain during the QAL North American tour), I sure didn't see him in pain, poor Brian. He's good now. :) Yes I did see those gorgeous pics of Adam from the upcoming CBS special! Heavenly! Sigh

Sunflower said...

Oh he did give Adam huge praises, I love Brian more! Another wonderful human being!

broddybounce said...

Guys, sorry, I had a short window of time to post and didn't realize til later that I hadn't gotten the entirety of the tweets captured properly. I'll be able to fix that during the overnight. Thanks!

But, yes, glad Brian is all better -- when I first glanced at the article I thought "OH NO!". But, as painful as it was what he had, thankfully it wasn't any of Dr. Bri's internal organs affected!! Get all better soon, Brian!

And thanks for posting the link to the Christmas special pics, Otexbert!

Dee R Gee said...

It will be great to see Brian romping around the stage again for the new tour. Sorry to know that he was in pain for so long. We should see him as his real frisky self very soon!

Love his incredible praise for Adam. Brian never forgets how lucky he and Roger are to have Adam. Adam made the magic come alive again.

So excited about 2020! New Velvet Side B, new QAL tour, AND PRAYING WE GET A SOLO TOUR FROM ADAM! Please try to view and stream his new music. It's our gift to him. We need him. He needs us.

Looking forward to the Avicii concert on Thursday! I'm sure Adam will be spectacular!

Nanbert said...

How nice that Brian is a Glambert, too!.....just as we are Queenberts. It's all about a HUGE family of dedicated musicians and music lovers! I cannot imagine a world without Queen and Adam Lambert!

Get well soon, dear Brian....so sorry you've been in such pain. Hope your operation completely resolves your problem, so you can perform in comfort, and with your customary joy during the coming tour.

Long live Queen and Adam Lambert! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you!

Nanbert said...

Does anyone know what Adam will sing on the Christmas Special "Home for the Holidays"? I assume it will be his new Christmas song "Please Come Home For Christmas",.... but wonder if he will do another... possibly from "Velvet"...hope so.

I am so pleased that Adam is being called upon to perform on so many "specials" (re: Cher, Elvis, Avincii, "Home for the Holidays", etc)...it means to me that (among those who make such decisions) his voice is considered to be unique and special...and that he can sing any genre magnificently...and that he adds "gravitas" to any musical special by his sheer brilliance.

Dee R Gee said...

Nanbert, I am also thrilled that Adam is performing on all these special events, TV and otherwise. He has become one of those go-to performers who is respected and who can handle any kind of show.

I assume he'll sing "Please Come Home For Christmas" on Home For The Holidays. Hope so!

Don't know what he'll be singing on "Almost Acoutic Xmas" on Dec. 12.

Lynn said...

He also sang "Faith" for the George Michael tribute. He seems to be able to capture the essence of the person when singing their songs.

Sue Smith said...

I thought on that CBS special he was singing Closer To You. The one on Dec 22 or am I getting specials mixed up. Home For The Holidays is that not the CBS special on Dec. 22. I Believe a person who was on the show said he sang Closer To You. I see Brian has taken my nuts comment referring to Adam's nuts vocals it describes those vocals so well.

Sunflower said...

Ladies, Adam will be singing "Closer to You" on that "Home for the Holidays " on Sunday Dec.22. A fan who went to the taping gave out this bit of info.

broddybounce said...

Just added "update" to this post: so, yah, actually, the tweets can't be expanded further, nor are there "Part 2" tweets -- the full text description can only be found on the IG. So, for those readers who do not have IG, I have copied and pasted the entire text and put it below each text. I'm guessing most of you have IG(?), but for those who don't, now you can see the entirety of what Brian wrote!

Nanbert said...

Thanks, broddybounce....I don't have IG. Remember, I said I was technologically disadvantaged! I don't wander very far....mostly just my email, youtube....and HERE! Ever since my computer got highjacked a couple of years ago, I'm scared to wander much.

Love that "Stockholm Syndrome" photo! Very sexy "Man In Tan." Hope he keeps those vocal chords warm and toasty.

I have to go to a doctor pretty far away in LaLa land on December 5th. I tried to google it to but could not pull it up. Does any person here know what time the Avicci stream is on I guess his YT channel tomorrow. What time of day please. Looks like I will miss it. I know it is on radio stations have zero ideas which ones. I doubt I get it in. Will not be home probably at that time.
If any one knows what time in Texas it is streamed please let me know. I would appreiate it. I tried to google the time table for the time I could not pull it up. Just need the time it starts in Texas please if any one here knows, thanks.

Mi Re La said...

Sue I thinks that if in Sweden starts at 9 pm in Texas it will be 2 pm

Patria said...

Patria said...

I dance like Brian. (just thought I'd throw that out here.)

Sue Smith said...

Thanks so much Mi Re La,I am really
afraid I will miss it. Hope there are some videos from at least Adam. I forgot it was on the 5th. I probably could not have broke it anyway the doctors appointment. I know it is in a foreign country but still hope there will be some videos of Adam here.
Adam will kill it. I've alway liked Lay ME Down Adam sang on that album.
