Brian May has been awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science degree from the University Of Hull in England.
Already a Doctor of Astrophysics, having completed his PhD studies at London's Imperial College in 2007, May accepted his Doctor Of Science, honoris causa via video link as he's currently on tour in Europe. The 74-year-old guitarist also gave a five minute speech to the university Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and fellow graduates and their families.
"I'm sorry that my commitments prevented me from celebrating with you in person today," May began, "but let me stress that it is with great pleasure that I accept this award. Please be assured that my virtual presence doesn't lessen the pride and honour that I feel in graduating alongside the University Of Hull's Science and Engineering's class of 2020."
