Man trapped in bush

In an artist imitates life story, musician Brian May, 58 Revealed that he too has spent two days trapped in a bush.

May who wrote hits for his band Queen like Spread Your Wings, Sweet Lady and Seaside Rendevous, said he was glad to be out of the dense prickly patch.

In a bizzare parallel with events in North Yorkshire yesterday the be-permed guitar twiddler, performer of such hits as In The Lap Of The Gods, You Take My Breath Away, and Coming Soon, commented "At first it was funny, but before I knew it I was stuck" He tells of a dark night enmeshed, in the bosky tendrils.

Finally the lanky banjo botherer, author of Escape From The Swamp freed himself of the thick matted growth with one of his trademark rapid licks.
