Queen Guitarist Brian May Suffered Near-Fatal

Queen Guitarist Brian May Suffered Near-Fatal Heart Attack. Queen's guitarist, Brian May, got a double shot of "Another One Bites the Dust" ... first with an agonizing crushed nerve, followed by a heart attack. Luckily, Brian lived to tell the tale himself, but he says for a good week he was in absolute "agony" -- and that was before his heart nearly stopped pumping. The rock icon says he thought he tore a muscle while gardening -- not very rock 'n' roll, we know, but he's 72.
