— Guitarist and songwriter Brian May has completed his doctorate in astrophysics - three decades after he put academia on hold to form the rock group Queen.

May was awarded his qualification Thursday by London's Imperial College.

May was an astrophysics student at Imperial College when he joined Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor to form Queen in 1970. He delayed his studies as the glam rock band became successful. Queen became one of Britain's biggest music groups in the 1970s, with hits including "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You."
