An update on Sir Brian May’s recovery from a stroke last year was shared by his wife, Anita Dobson. The rock legend, aged 78, disclosed the stroke incident in a September 2024 Instagram post, mentioning the temporary loss of control in one arm. Although initially described as “a little scary,” Sir Brian has been actively recuperating, evident from his frequent social media posts showcasing his outings.
Anita Dobson, aged 76, mentioned in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph that her husband of almost 25 years has been diligently following medical advice post the health scare. She affectionately stated, “He takes his tablets, does his exercises. He’s a good boy,” emphasizing the importance of adherence to the prescribed regimen.
The couple, who met in the late 1980s and married in 2000, are approaching their silver wedding anniversary this month, symbolizing the enduring bond they share. Anita Dobson, stepmother to May’s three children from his prior marriage, reflects on their relationship as one marked by mutual respect and playful banter.
Despite facing various challenges together, including fame, health issues, and property loss due to a storm in 2021, the couple’s move to Surrey following the incident has been a source of happiness. While rural living was an adjustment for Dobson, May found solace in the natural surroundings of their expansive property, showcasing his passion for astrophysics and wildlife conservation.
Anita Dobson fondly recalls May’s recent appearance at the Proms, expressing pride in his performance. She humorously contrasts his casual appearance at home with his stage presence, emphasizing her continued admiration and love for him. Additionally, Dobson’s return to EastEnders for the soap’s 40th anniversary and subsequent nostalgic appearances have been well-received by fans.
The couple’s journey, marked by resilience and love, continues to inspire many, with May’s artistic and personal endeavors resonating with fans and loved ones alike.
