* RenaissanceMan: Decades after leaving university to form Queen, May returned to Imperial College London to earn his doctorate in astrophysics. He is, as a rock star who is also an accredited scientist who has aided in the launch of numerous space probes, quite possibly the closest that RealLife has come to [[Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension Buckaroo Banzai]], with all the awesome that deserves.

* IAmNotSpock: Before happily embracing the Queen name since the late 90's, there was a period of almost a decade when Brian wanted to dissociate himself from the Queen name and brand as much as possible, and he tried to launch a career as a singer. It backfired, as he was still seen as "the guitarist of Queen". When he did a track live where he only sang and didn't play any instruments, the audience's reaction was polite at best; when he played a guitar solo instead, people would overwhelmingly cheer him. He eventually embraced that and gradually returned to being primarily a guitarist, and he's been producing a few singers instead of himself being one (though, to be fair, he still does a lot of backing vocals and the occasional lead).
