Brian May has been performing as Queen’s guitarist for over half a century, but when he first started out he was balancing other career ambitions. By the time his band with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon was really taking off, he was studying for a Physics PhD that he ended up dropping, much to his father Harold May’s dismay. However, when Queen performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City, his parents were backstage and finally got it.
Brian has shared a picture before, which you can see below, of the moment his father Harold finally accepted his Queen career.
The guitarist wrote: “This was the moment when my Dad finally shook my hand and said “OK – I get it now” – A big moment for me, because my Dad had until that point been unable to accept the fact that I had thrown away my scientific career to become what he called a pop star.”
This last week marked Harold’s 101st birthday, had his dad not died at just 66-years-old.
