Just learned that Brian May, the guitarist, songwriter and occasional singer of the rock band Queen, has a degree in Mathematics and Physics and a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College. Respect!

Yup, hardcore gent.
 
He co-wrote Bang! – The Complete History of the Universe. Might want to add it to your Xmas stocking, rpm...;)
 
And he and his father built Red Special, the guitar he used. Also, John Deacon, who was also a trained electronics engineer, built the Deacy amp.
 
brain may is also a Professor and the Chancellor of some university.

john deacon got a First Class Honours Degree in electronics at Chelsea College

roger taylor studied dentistry and later changed to biology and got a B.Sc

freddie mercury had a Diploma in Art and Graphic Design at Ealing Art College - he designed Queen's crest
 
He has an Erdos (7) Bacon (3) Sabbath (1) number of 11 and is the only EBS with a sabbath of 1. I believe he may be the top musician on that list, although Greg Graffin could one day surpass him.
