Queen guitarist Brian May says he ended up in hospital and was left unable to walk after "ripping his glutes to shreds" while gardening.
The star, 72, shared a picture of himself wearing a surgical mask alongside a video of him being pushed in a wheelchair by a nurse.
He said he was grateful not to have come down with coronavirus but was in hospital being scanned to "find out exactly how much I've actually damaged myself".
Writing on Instagram yesterday, he said: "Reality check ! For me. No – the Virus didn't get me yet – thank God."
He said the accident happened earlier this week and has left him unable to walk or sleep "without a lot of assistance".

The rock star urged his fans not to send sympathy, asking instead for "some healing silence" and a "complete break".
May has posted several videos of himself online this week, some of him playing guitar and others discussing the COVID-19 crisis.
