May to play PhD gig

As previously reported, Brian May handed in his PhD thesis 41 years late last week. The veteran rocker began the paper in 1971, shortly before Queen's popularity exploded, which forced him to put completion of the 48,000 word piece aside until now. In celebration of his achievement, May will hold a 'special these-inspired concert', marking the inauguration of a telescope at the Observatory of the Roque de Los Muchachos in La Palma, Tenerife. No date has been announced yet, but as soon as we know, it'll be published here.
