For what? If it's services to music, then Roger Taylor is well within his rights to burn Buckingham Palace to the ground!

From the article:
The musician, astrophysicist and animal welfare advocate is knighted for services to music and charity, after more than 50 years in one of Britain's most popular rock bands.
Sir Brian was previously appointed a CBE in 2005, while Queen drummer Roger Taylor was made an OBE in the 2020 New Year Honours.
On being recognised for his campaigning work, Sir Brian told BBC News: "This is a kind of licence, a kind of commission to carry on doing what I'm doing, and it gives me a bit more power to my elbow. So I'm very happy about that."

As a knight, he's entitled to a coat of arms now. I would not be overly surprised if he sticks three badgers on there.

They don't give them posthumously, unfortunately.
