Queen guitarist May named university chancellor
Mon Nov 19, 4:16 PM ET
LONDON (Reuters) - Brian May, lead guitarist from rock band Queen who has just completed a doctorate in astrophysics, was on Monday
named as the next chancellor to Liverpool John Moores University.
May, who will take up the role early next year, became an honorary fellow of the university earlier this year in recognition of his
contribution to the arts and for encouraging public understanding of science with his book "Bang! The Complete History of the
Universe."
The university said it was a tribute to May, 60, that he had gone back to finish his doctorate after leaving his studies in his
mid-20s to pursue a career in rock music.
"Not only is Brian an icon in his own sphere but he is a real academic star as well," said the chairman of the university's board,
Sir Malcolm Thornton, in a statement.
"He perfectly embodies the 'can do' attitude of LJMU; he is going to be a great Chancellor for the students and a wonderful
figurehead for the University."
May said in the statement that it was an honor and a great challenge to take up the new position.

Interesting.
It is a wonder they didn't give it to Paul McCartney..:-).
As an aside, Cherie Booth is also the daughter of iconic Liverpool actor
Anthony Booth who played the "Scouse Git" in "Till Death Do Us Part".
Ironic, considering his role was that of a 'dyed in the wool' socialist
always arguing politics with "Alf", his working class Conservative father in
law.
Those were the daze ;-)...No climate change to worry about, just the threat
of a nuclear holocaust
