The musician, 75, blasted the “idiot” who had taken over his page in an attempt to “scam people into buying cheap laptops”. After noticing the issue, Sir Brian May wasted no time in taking to his Instagram account to warn fans.
In a selfie video, the Queen legend told his 3.1 million followers: “Well folks, apparently it seems that some idiot has hacked my Twitter account, so please ignore anything you see on my Twitter page.
“Obviously I’ll try to get it stopped, but people just waste your time, don’t they?
“Isn’t it incredible they don’t have more useful things to do with their lives?
“So whoever’s done it, well done mate, just brilliant – you must be so proud of yourself,” Brian fumed.

Continuing his plea to fans, Brian added: “And ignore my Twitter, okay?
“To be honest I’ll probably… well, we’ll see what we do.
“God bless you all and thanks very much, and hopefully I’ll see you soon.”
In the caption of his post, Brian urged his followers to “spread the word” to avoid his fans getting scammed by the hacker.
Fans rushed to the comments section to assure Brian that they were on the case.
However, one Instagram user, madi_kaczmarski, revealed: “I sadly told them that I reported them and got blocked.”
Another fan begged Brian not to delete his Twitter account to resolve the issue.
Brian’s follower oleeloetc then alerted fans to another scam using the Queen guitarist’s name, commenting: “Just last week, a very polite Brian may started following me, and started asking questions of me. And this was on Instagram, because I don’t use Twitter or Facebook, or any of those other platforms. Just letting you know. Honestly, I don’t know how those people can look at themselves in the mirror and convince themselves that they are normal.”
