Queen guitarist Brian May May received a knighthood Friday as part of the U.K.'s annual New Year's Honors list.
May, who also has a doctorate in astrophysics and is an animal welfare advocate, received a knighthood Friday as part of the U.K.'s annual New Year's Honors list. May, who was honored for services to music and charity, said he hopes the knighthood will give him"a little bit more clout."
He was among hundreds of artists, community leaders and athletes who were recognized on the first such list to be signed off by King Charles III. "I've felt for a long time that we had this false idea that humans are the only important species on the planet, and I don't think an alien visitor would view it that way. I think every species and every individual has the right to a decent life and a decent death. That's kind of where I come from," he said.
