LONDON (AP) – Some guys have all the luck.

Rocker Rod Stewart has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in her annual Birthday Honors List, which also included recognition for astronaut Tim Peake and “Downton Abbey” star Penelope Wilton.

Stewart, the raspy-voiced singer of “Maggie May,” ”Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Some Guys have All the Luck,” was honored in Friday’s list “for services to music and charity.” The 71-year-old will be able to call himself Sir Roderick David Stewart.

Peake, who is nearing the end of a six-month stint aboard the International Space Station, was made a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, which recognizes “service rendered internationally or in a foreign country.”

The Foreign Office noted that Peake “is the first person to be honored in this order as a British representative in space.”
