| - Brian Harold May, CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, singer, songwriter and astrophysicist who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. He uses a home-built electric guitar, called the Red Special. His compositions for the band include %22We Will Rock You%22, %22Tie Your Mother Down%22, %22I Want It All%22, %22Fat Bottomed Girls%22, %22Flash%22, %22Save Me%22, %22Who Wants to Live Forever%22 and %22The Show Must Go On%22.May was a founding member of Queen with lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor, having previously performed with Taylor in the band Smile, which he had joined while he was at university. Within five years of their formation in 1970 and the recruitment of bass player John Deacon completing the lineup, Queen had become established as one of the biggest rock bands in Britain with the album A Night at the Opera and its single %22Bohemian Rhapsody%22. From the mid-1970s until the early 1990s, Queen were an almost constant presence in the UK charts and played some of the biggest venues in the world, most notably giving an acclaimed performance at Live Aid in 1985. As a member of Queen, May became regarded as a virtuoso musician and he was identified with a distinctive sound created through his layered guitar work. Following the death of Mercury in 1991, Queen were put on hiatus for several years but were eventually reconvened by May and Taylor for further performances featuring other vocalists. In 2005, a Planet Rock poll saw May voted the 7th greatest guitarist of all time. He was ranked at No. 26 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the %22100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time%22. In 2012, May was ranked the 2nd greatest guitarist of all time by a Guitar World magazine readers poll.He was appointed a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2005 for %22services to the music industry and for charity work%22. May attained a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007 and was Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 2008 to 2013. He was a %22science team collaborator%22 with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission.May has homes in London and Windlesham, Surrey. He is an active animal rights advocate and was appointed a vice-president of animal welfare charity the RSPCA in September 2012.
