I would have thought you'd pick the more obvious example of Dexter Holland, from the Offspring, who has a PhD in molecular biology. Apparently the line "Gotta keep 'em separated" from Come Out and Play was inspired by two chemicals that he had to keep separated.

Brian May from Queen has a PhD in astrophysics. He quit his PhD when Queen started seeing success. Went back and finished in like 2007 IIRC.
