Brian May is completing his doctorate in astrophysics, more than 30 years after he abandoned his studies to form the rock group Queen.

No kidding, a doctorate in astrophysics? Wow. I am impressed. Who knew he was hiding a mind like that under that '70s arena rock haircut?

It's pretty amazing that he's able to pick it up again at such a high level after so many years. Getting a PhD requires publishing articles in peer reviewed journals on a topic that no one else has written about first. That's a lot harder to do in hard sciences than in ethnic studies programs.
