The human air raid siren is indeed one of the greats, on and off the stage. Considering some of his altruistic actions for Britain and others over the years, he is deserving of the knighthood far more than ‘Sir Elton” and others.
Plus he’s damn good with a sword ;)
I completely agree; heck, I’d like to see the whole band knighted! Aside from their individual altruistic actions, the band has done a lot to promote British culture and understanding of British history. Personally, I’ve long considered them the U.K.’s unofficial cultural ambassadors.
I understand Duran Duran is going to perform at the upcoming Olympics; to hell with that. Put Iron Maiden on the stage, and start the 2012 Olympics on a truly British note!
