Privacy NoticeQueen guitarist Brian May is on the mend in his lavish £25million Surrey mansion, where he plans to recover by “eating lentils, watching birds and sitting in silence with wife Anita Dobson” following a stroke. The rock icon, who was taken to hospital last week, has been advised by medics to keep his heart rate down. It’s been disclosed that the 77-year-old will be embracing a vegan lifestyle while recuperating in his three-storey Windlesham home, nestled within an expansive 200-acre estate. A confidant shared: “Anita will be looking after Brian as much as she can in between working to make sure he gets better. Being in the countryside has done them both a world of good and that’s just the way they will continue.”

“He’ll stick to his vegan diet and take walks in the countryside around their home. Just looking at the birds and animals will make a massive difference,” reports the Express. “They also enjoy sitting in silence and sharing peaceful moments together.” Previously, Anita expressed: “I would love to meditate but I find it difficult to find the time so I try to find moments of silence.”

“We’ve moved to the country and I’ve found that very helpful, looking at the birds and the animals.” “That settles you down and it makes you realise we are all in this world and we all have the same problems and you’re not alone.” “All of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn’t have any control over this arm, so it was a little scary.” “I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital; blue lights flashing the lot, very exciting.” Brian said of his recent stroke: “I hope you’re all well out there. I’m here to bring you first of all some good news. “I think the good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days and I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago and what they called it was a minor stroke and all of a sudden – out of the blue – I didn’t have any control over this arm so was a little scary.” He added: “So, the good news is I’m okay. Just doing what I’m told, which is basically nothing. I’m grounded. I’m not allowed to go out – well, I’m not allowed to drive, not allowed to get on a plane, not allowed to raise the heart rate too high, not allowed to have planes flying over, which will stress me. But I’m good.” Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for freeStory SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
