Queen's Brian May has reached out to fans after he was hospitalised for tearing his gluteus maximus - the main muscle of the hip that forms the buttocks - "to shreds" while gardening during isolation.

Taking to Instagram, the guitar legend shared artwork of himself which was made by fans and thanked them for the special gifts as he opened up about his current state of health - revealing he hardly "feels alive."

Alongside the pictures, the 72-year-old wrote: "I'm so touched by every one of these visualisations, be sure to keep swinging, dear folks.

I’m so touched by every one of these visualisations - BE SURE TO KEEP SWIPING, dear folks ! Each one restores a piece of me tonight as I wrestle with the physical pain which has settled on me the last few days - so strong and so persistent that I hardly feel alive. I will take these lovely visions with me as I search for healing sleep tonight. THANK YOU !!! Thank you @sarah_rugg for the first one - beautifully subtly alive and almost breathing - and for collecting the others in this post. Thanks @sugarxsnow3 - exquisite ! I want it on my wall ! Thanks @nymph_in_yellow - thanks @elisa.kent_draws - thanks @remembered.my.art - thanks @chaoskirin - thanks @space.in.tea. - thanks @mc_artistyk All of these are so inspiring, offering me a mirror image for my soul which no ordinary looking-glass can supply. With much love and thanks - Bri
