Yep! Still active today in astrophysics, I think. A real renaissance man. Imagine being one of the best-known rock stars of all time and an accomplished astrophysicist. Fuckin' overachievers, lmao
He’s even had Renaissance man hair for a long time
That Brylcream is putting in the hard work
Definitely more than the little dab they recommend.
I bet the girls loved to get their fingers in his hair.
(🎵 Brylcream 🎵)
He has had two confirmed research papers with Imperial (co-author, not first author) but other than that I think he has had a lot of his clout comes from another Brian H May at RMIT (Melbourne)
Probably not at 16, but later yes.
What were they putting in the water back then, dude looks like hes 25
