Brian May - From Song Writing to…Astrophysics?
Well now who said rock icons weren’t smart? Brian May; former lead guitarist of legend rock band, Queen; has just completed a doctorate in Astrophysics of all things. On top of that he has been named the next chancellor to Liverpool John Moores University.
Well I never.
Rock bands have a reputation that obviously is not all true. They are linked with drugs, alcohol, throwing TV’s from hotel windows…you know the sort of thing. But after giving it up in his mid 20’s to pursue Queen’s massively growing success; 60 year old May went back to his studies; completing his PdD thesis “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud.” in October this year.
Just goes to show kids – you can be a talented musician and go to school. Your parents will be so proud.
