December 31, 2013, 10 years ago
According to Sky News, QUEEN guitarist Brian May has undergone "urgent" cancer tests over the Christmas period.
MRI scans showed the rock star and astrophysicist had "abnormalities in the bones", he confirmed on his website.
The 66-year-old's doctor organised the tests after he complained of severe pain affecting his ability to stand up.
May, who is also a campaigner against the culling of badgers, said he was feeling optimistic despite the health scare.
In a blog post on December 28, he said: "So around Christmas I've been having a succession of blood tests, ultrasounds, and various kinds of scans, to see if they could rule out various kinds of cancer.
"Now, on hearing the 'C' word something happens inside you ... of course. I've seen so many of my dear friends fighting it ... and my Dad lost his battle at age 66, exactly the age I am now."So over the last few days I've been in various states of unrest. But the great thing has been that the team my GP assembled to check out the possibilities has moved Heaven and Earth to gather all the information I need quickly over the Christmas period ... not an easy time."
