The legendary Queen guitarist shared an update on his social media that he noted as a "little health hiccup." "The good news is I can play guitar,” he said.
Brian May revealed that he was rushed to a hospital after suffering a minor stroke and temporarily losing control of his left arm. In a message to his fans, May addresses the events of the past week:
“They called it a minor stroke, and all of a sudden out of the blue, I didn’t have any control of this arm. It was a little scary, I have to say. I had the most fantastic care and attention from the hospital where I went, blue lights flashing, the lot, it was very exciting. I might post a video if you like.”
“I didn’t wanna say anything at the time because I didn’t want anything surrounding it, I really don’t want sympathy. Please don’t do that, because it’ll clutter up my inbox, and I hate that. The good news is I’m OK.”
Introducing the new Seymour Duncan Billy Gibbons signature offerings: The Hades Gates Humbucker set for a mid-forward punch with extra heat, and the Red Devil for Tele, capturing his hot Texas tone.
Billy Gibbons Red Devil for Tele
When Seymour Duncan first introduced the Signature Billy Gibbons Red Devil set, his fiery sound was captured in Strat-sized humbucker pickups. Now, that hot Texas tone is available as a drop-in replacement bridge pickup for any Telecaster wielding guitarist.
Approved by Reverend Willie G himself, the Red Devil for Tele is built with an Alnico 5magnet, 4 conductor cable, and a hot wind that drives amps and pedals harder than a traditional vintage humbucker. Whether you’re looking for cutting leads, tight pinch harmonics, or thick rhythm tones, it’s all at your fingertips with the Red Devil for Tele.
Billy Gibbons Hades Gates Pickup Set
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.From scorching lead guitar to his own line of hot sauces, Billy Gibbons has never been afraid of a little extra heat. The Pearly Gates pickup set from his coveted 1959 Les Paul has been a favorite among P.A.F. purists for decades. For the Reverend, some guitars in his collection benefitted from additional output to deliver his signature sound.
This demand for a hotter wind forged The Hades Gates humbucker set – a fiery take on the mid-forward, punchy sound Billy is known for. Alnico 2 magnets and this added output drive your amp into some hot, blue, and righteous territory.
Hades Gates Humbuckers are hand-built in Santa Barbara, California with 4-conductor cables and short mounting legs.
