The legendary musician found the ordeal "a little scary" and is relieved to still be able to play his beloved instrument.
He told fans in an Instagram video update: "I hope you're all well out there. I'm here to bring you first of all some good news. I think 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."
Praising the staff who cared for him at Frimley Hospital in Camberley, Surrey, he added: "I have to say I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital where I went blue lights flashing... the lot. Very exciting!"
The 'We Will Rock You' hitmaker delayed informing his fans about his stroke because he doesn't like to receive sympathy.
He said: "I didn't want to say anything at the time because I didn't want anything surrounding, you know. I really don't want sympathy, please don't do that because it will clutter up my inbox."
