  • Sir Brian May has been awarded a knighthood by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.
    As the virtuoso guitarist in rock band Queen, the 75-year-old is responsible for some of the biggest riffs in popular music, from the solo on Don’t Stop Me Now to the melodic strums of Somebody To Love.
    Alongside late frontman Freddie Mercury, bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor, he scored numerous number ones during the group’s ’80s heyday, touring the world.
    After being honoured at the palace, Sir Brian admitted that he’s “thinking” about going on tour this year.

    Nice to see someone accept this award with dignity and respect. This is for the people as much as the recipient. Turning down an award like this is basically giving the middle finger to the country that has educated you, kept you safe and given you every opportunity to get where you are.
    All the so-called British celebs who have turned it down over the years need to get over themselves and and show a bit of gratitude.

    It is an incredibly corrupt honours system and I am really surprised that Brian accepted. It is particularly hard to understand how an animal rights activist can accept a known corrupt award from a hereditary head that loves hunting, fishing and shooting and has lobbied for hunting with dogs to continue. These awards are given to many who pay for them as well as pedophiles, crooks, fraudsters etc
