Short story:

In an interview in UK tabloid newspaper The Sun, David Bowie tells Dominic Mohan that he is refusing to accept a knighthood from the Queen - unlike his contemporary Sir Mick Jagger.

Full article:

David Bowie : I would never have any intention of accepting anything like that. I seriously don't know what it's for. It's not what I spent my life working for.

It's not my place to make a judgment on Jagger, it's his decision. But it's just not for me.

Am I anti-monarchy? I'd only have a serious answer to that if I was living in this country.
