As the guitar power in the legendary British rock band Queen, Brian May conquered most of our planet – and now he has his sights set on mastering the universe. The star musician, who wrote hits like „We Will Rock You“ and „The Show Must Go On“, has switched from his guitar to a pen and co-authored a book with the two leading British astronomers Sir Patrick Moore and Chris Lintott. „Bang! The Complete History of the Universe“ is telling the story of the big bang and how the universe has evolved since. Brian May, 59, earned a degree in physics at Imperial College, London, but after years of studying interplanetary dust, he abandoned work towards his doctorate when Queen, fronted by stellar performer Freddie Mercury, took off.
