Queen guitarist Brian May says he came down with a breakthrough case of COVID-19 despite receiving vaccinations and a booster shot.

The rock legend has been discussing his experience with the coronavirus on his Instagram page and said that while he is getting better, the Beast is still in my body more than a week after testing positive.

The 74-year-old guitarist said he and his wife, Anita Dobson, caught COVID after attending a friends birthday lunch despite getting three doses of the Pfizer vaccine, according to People . May said that prior to this, he and Dobson had been hermit-like for 20 months.

May said he started feeling a little better on Sunday seven days after he caught the virus. He added that his immune system is now winning the battle against the invader and credited the enormous help of three Pfizer jabs.

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 in a caption.
