Jarvis collects honorary degree

Jarvis Cocker has picked up his honorary doctorate at a graduation ceremony at his former university, Sheffield Hallam. As previously reported, it was announced Cocker would receive the award last month.

The former Pulp frontman told the BBC: "I'm called a doctor now. Don't worry, I won't open a surgery. But I guess if you are a songwriter maybe I could have some kind of musical surgery. If you had a song with a swollen chorus, or a varicose verse, or if you need a little bit of help I could try and heal your song for you".
