Earlier this month, Brian May made headlines when he said that he “managed to rip [his] Gluteus Maximus to shreds” as a result of a gardening accident. In the video, May clarified that he did rip his gluteus maximus muscle, but that the severe pain he experienced was actually due to a compressed sciatic nerve.
