In a BBC interview, the musician commented on the honor: “This means a lot. It’s a recognition for the things we’ve done, and I was very happy to receive it.” The drummer still admitted to being nervous at the ceremony: “I was shaking a little there, alone.”
The honor came 21 years after Paul McCartney received the title, and 53 years after the Beatles in 65, were named Members of the British Empire.
