He’s from Northern Ireland so he falls under the umbrella. He’s got a knighthood and “Sir” title.

To the list of influential British artists I’ll add Joe Cocker, the other Elvis (Costello) and Cliff Richards.

If we are including more recent performances both Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles are two of the biggest draws. They are up there with The Weekend and Bad Bunny for pop of current mountain.
