Wearing a tailcoat, tie and with an unrepeatable smile. The historic guitarist of Queen, Brian May, has made a slight bow on his knees and has starred in the great moment of him receiving the recognition of Sir from the hands of Charles III. Adding to the distinguished list of UK Knight Musicians, May has been one of the first to receive this honor since Charles became king. In his networks he has published a resounding “speechless”.

Musicians Brian May and YolanDa Brown have congratulated each other after receiving the honors during an investiture at Buckingham Palace, which took place on Tuesday, March 14. In addition, YolanDa performed before the King on Commonwealth Day at Westminster Abbey, Monday the 13th.

The astrophysicist is an honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Hull (United Kingdom) and founder of the band Queen, together with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. May, acclaimed composer and guitarist, has signed the hits We will rock you, The show must go on, I want it all or the mythical Who wants to live forever. This highest recognition as a gentleman, which comes to him at the age of 75, aligns him with Mick Jagger, Elton John y Paul McCartney.

God Save the Queen, on the roof of Buckingham

It must be remembered that in June of last year Queen was the band in charge of inaugurating the tribute to Queen Elizabeth II during the macro national celebration for her Platinum Jubilee. Brian May thus made history by repeating the celebration: 20 years earlier, in 2002, on the occasion of His Majesty’s Golden Jubilee, the musician climbed to the roof of Buckingham Palace and, from there, performed the legendary God Save the Queen. An image of rock in the palace for posterity. Will he perform at the coronation of Carlos III, after the refusal of Ed Sheeran or Harry Styles, who alleged scheduling problems?
