May, usually very active on Instagram, had not posted anything for several days until Thursday.He updated followers to let them know his absence was not due to coronavirus, before saying that he had been quiet due to “too many demands” as well as his recent injury.
While May did not reveal how he had injured himself, he appears to have done significant damage to his buttocks.
“Turns out I did a thorough job — this is a couple of days ago — and I won’t be able to walk for a while … or sleep, without a lot of assistance, because the pain is relentless,” he wrote, adding that he would be off social media for a while to get some rest.
“Please, please don’t send me sympathy — I just need some healing silence for a while,” he said, before saying farewell to his fans and telling them to “take care out there.”
CNN has contacted May’s representatives for further details on the incident.
