While the stadiums may be silent for now, Brian May is still finding ways to make hearts roar. In a series of intimate, impromptu “micro concerts” shared from his home, the Queen guitarist picked up his iconic Red Special and let loose with what he called “a raw cheer-up outburst.” No lights, no stage, no production — just Brian, a guitar, and pure connection. Fans from around the world tuned in to watch the rock legend offer comfort the only way he knows how: through music. And as Adam Lambert chimed in with praise, it was clear — even small songs can carry stadium-sized soul

At 72-years-old, Queen and Adam Lambert guitarist Brian May has wisely chosen to self-isolate. But the rock legend hasn’t lost heart, choosing to cheer up fans on his Instagram. In his latest post, May says he intends to entertain everyone with a string of micro-concerts on his social media channel.

May wrote: “In my living room at home – where else ?!

“I seem to have most all my usual channels to entertain you … so maybe here on IG is the place to perform micro concerts across the ether.

“Is that a good plan ? This is my contribution to the Common Good tonight.

“A raw cheer-up outburst. Living Room Rock ! IG-ROCK ! Is this the future ?”

He added: “It will be the last one – I promise. Thanks to LYNN from Hawaii for the colourful attire. Bri.”

In May’s video, he sat in that Hawaiian shirt while holding an electric guitar.

The Queen star said: “So folks, here we all are self-isolating, ‘cause it’s really the only thing we can do.

“And we’re thinking to ourselves, what happened to my life?”

May continued: “Who am I? Who was I? Who could I be in this new kind of world?

“And we’re all gonna need a friend. The kind of friends you need is something like this…”

The 72-year-old then performed an epic guitar riff before adding: “And your friend will always be there for you.”

He then played a few more notes before coming to a satisfying conclusion.

The day before, May spoke of how his recent tour dates with Queen and Adam Lambert now felt like an “impossibly distant dream”.

The star even admitted he had had doubts about ever playing live again for fans because of the pandemic.

Luckily the most recent leg of the tour ended before March and the band aren’t due to go back on the road until the end of May.

As of now only one concert around then, set for Paris, France, has been postponed so far.
