I have a feeling that Brian May wouldn't have liked that post you mentioned. A friend of mine has worked with a wild animal rescue charity that he sponsors (he's given them land to use, among other things). According to her, he's a wonderful person.
On the other hand, his story inspires young people interested in music and/or science that you can do both. :) Brian Cox is another ex-rock star/physicist in the UK who equally inspires young people.
Last night, we were watching the Folk Music night of the Proms. One performer, Jarlath Henderson, won the BBC's Young Folk Musician of the Year at age 17. He continued working as a musician; however, after a gap year, he went to university and became a doctor. At age 32, he still works as a doctor and as a musician, somehow combining the two careers. Amazing. Apparently, he goes back and forth between them. I don't think he works full-time in either of them and he has been fortunate to have the support to do both.
