GMB halt show for breaking news announcement about Brian May's health
Susanna Reid and Ed Balls were forced to halt Good Morning Britain on Wednesday to deliver some breaking news about Brian May. It has emerged that the Queen icon was rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke.
Ed began: "Breaking news this morning, the Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed he suffered a stroke that left him unable to use his arm. The legendary musician made this announcement this morning in a video."
Brian said in the clip shared to Instagram: "I’m here to bring you first of all some news, I think. The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days.
“I say this because I was in some doubt because that little health hiccup happened about a week ago. What they called it was a ‘minor stroke’.
“All of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn’t have any control over this arm, so it was a little scary."

He continued: "I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital; blue lights flashing the lot, very exciting.
“I didn’t want to say anything at the time because I didn’t want anything surrounding, you know. I really don’t want sympathy, please don’t do that because it will clutter up my inbox."
Brian wrapped up the video message: “The good news is I’m ok and doing what I’m told which is basically nothing, I’m grounded, I’m not allowed to go out, drive, get on a plane, I’m not allowed to raise the heart rate too high. But I am good.”
As the video came to an end, Susanna said: "We wish the Queen guitarist our very best, Brian May."

Following Brian's post on social media, his followers flocked to the comments section to wish him well.
One penned: "Something affecting your arm and not being able to play guitar must have been very scary for you. Little is a huge understatement, I guess everything about you is humble. Minor or large a stroke is always scary and has to be taken very seriously, but good to see you doing well."
Another shared: "I’m very happy to hear that you’re doing so well! Strokes, large or small, as you know, are serious business and I hope you will heed your doc’s orders in every way, as frustrating as they may be! We want you to stay healthy for a long, lonnnnng time to come!" (sic)
A third added: "Thanks for updating and showing us your smile. I can’t even imagine exactly what you’re really going through, but I hope you’ll feel better very soon and enjoy playing guitar again."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
