Just get recognised by the Queen for services to the Empire. Oh, and be British.
Sir Elton John and Sir Bob Geldof are both knights also.

The way I hear it, to be a knight you have to be a British subject. But there are other Orders that you can have ascribed to you such as the 'Order of the Garter'. These are similar, but not a Knighthood, and I don't believe you can use the prefix 'Sir' in any official capacity.
