Reply to comment by Milly_man in Brian May gets a knighthood in New Year Honours list by StephenHunterUK
Quite a few musicians do - Bowie turned down a CBE and a knighthood. Lennon returned his MBE, but legally the honour remained his until his death in 1980.
Some hold out for higher gongs, some find the concept a bit silly, others don't like being in the Order of the British Empire.
