Brian May yesterday officially succeeded Cherie Blair as chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University. The ceremony to appoint him was watched by over 500 people and comes just a year after the Queen guitarist completed the astrophysics PhD he abandoned in the 1970's when his band shot to fame. Dr May said that he was "proud" to be given the role and that he hoped his own personal experiences in academia would "act as an inspiration for others."
