BRIAN MAY was knighted by King Charles

Brian May was knighted by King Charles during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on March 14.

The Queen guitarist received the honor not only for his contributions to music, but also for his ongoing charity work.

The British government announced May as a recipient at the end of 2022. At that time, the rocker shared his joy in an interview with BBC News. «This is a kind of license, a kind of commission to carry on doing what I’m doing,” he explained, “and it gives me a bit more power to my elbow. So I’m very happy about that.»
