"Yep. The shocking day finally came for me. The dreaded double red line," May wrote alongside two photos of his test showing the result. While the last few days for him were "truly horrible", the guitarist said he was doing fine now.
"PLEASE take extra care out there, good folks. This thing is incredibly transmissible. You really do NOT want it messing up YOUR Christmas," he added. In a series of new posts on Sunday, May, who has been vaccinated with "three Pfizer jabs" said the Covid-19 positive "red line" seems less strong today.
"So do NOT be afraid - there IS life after Covid! But DO be careful... you do not want this, and neither do your family," he wrote alongside the video of him playing the guitar. May also thanked fans and followers for best wishes, promising he will tell the story of how he contracted the virus.
