A day after Brian May announced that he had to cancel his December tour with singer Kerry Ellis due to some medical concerns, he’s decided to shut down for the rest of the year.
The 69-year old Queen guitarist writes on his website, “Just a word or two to say thanks so much for all your lovely words and wishes dear folks. I got myself in a very depleted state and have taken the decision now to clear my diary of everything until the end of the year… Need to turn off the phones and media for a while. Apologies to everyone involved in the things I will miss. I have to get away and prioritize healing — sometimes there is no choice.”
May will be back at work next year as Queen + Adam Lambert are planning another tour.
