Brian May, the Queen guitarist and former chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University, is recognized by the NASA New Horizons mission team for his research contributions to the Pluto mission

On Tuesday, New Horizons became the first spacecraft to ever visit Pluto after completing an almost decade-long journey. Principle investigator Alan Stern told the audience that May had travelled from Europe to help the team work with the data they were receiving from the spacecraft following its journey past the dwarf planet.
From 1970 to 1974, May worked on his PhD at Imperial College in London, England, but abandoned his studies as Queen gained international success. In 2006, May returned to the school to complete his studies, earning his degree in 2007.

I think he completed his Doctorate as a promise to his parents.  He'd left school to play in the band.
