May, lead guitarist of iconic rock band Queen, was informed of the good news by his doctors over a telephone call by his doctor.
"Well, I got a phone call from my specialist this evening. He said 'I have a good news. The result of your prostrate biopsy is here, and we did not find any cancer cells," May wrote on his blog.
The 66-year-old rocker then celebrated the good news over a cup of tea at his studio while creating music with Freddie Mercury, John Deacon and Roger Taylor (other three members of the band).
"It's a great relief. I celebrated in the studio with a cup of tea. Hey, I know how to rock," he posted on his blog.
Following back pain last month, May had undergone multiple tests to detect cancer, if any.
"So I've been having a series of blood tests, ultrasounds, and various kinds of scans, to see if they could rule out various kinds of cancer," May had said earlier.
