I just saw the Bangladesh concert he organized in 1971. Awesome effort. First of its kind. To the best of my knoledge, he was never bestowed the honor. BTW, John and Paul never showed for the concert. Just Bob Dylan, Ringo, and a bunch of top rate session musicians.

It would have been well deserved at the time, but to be honest, what would be the point posthumously?

It has already been established this year that knighthoods can only be awarded during one's lifetime, not posthumously. There were calls for a knighthood for Bob Paisley, and the answer was no, since he is dead.

If the Queen can award a knighthood posthumously then yes. He contributed a lot to the music scene.

Unfortunately, a person can only be knighted whilst alive, this honour is not given posthumously.

A knighthood can't be awarded posthumously.

Knighthood is an antiquated british custom that frankly means nothing to the world except some british citizens

It seems moot since he passed away, but he should have been awarded some honor due to that charity work.

Before that happens, he must first answer the troll correctly, and successfully cross the dreaded 'Bridge of Death'!

Even if it were possible, I se no reason why he should be. The MBE he was awarded was more than enough.

I dont think George Harrison would have seen it as quite the honour you do.
