Queen don't really tour anymore much
and since made in heaven have only done 1 album
I don't think John can bring himself to thinking working in Queen is worthwhile after Freddie is no longer around.
Plus John has a family. as do Brian and Roger but they are Rock stars, John never really was a rock star
look at Rogers son, he is a drummer right out front- with the Queen name behind him.
i know John has a musical son but its not the same thing, its much more low key , not a rock star either.
John realised his creative ambitions within Queen and worked hard building the Queen Musical Legacy
which is as big as the Beatles in the UK.
So now , seeing as it really has ended , for it can never be the same without Freddie, John just wants to spend time doing other things other than music and enjoy his life and family.
He already has enjoyed and given all that time in his youth to realise all creative things and make lots of music and money in the process.
So now he just wants to enjoy the fruits and his other life which is his loved ones.
It makes sense to me.
Brian and Roger are different animals, they love the music business and being active in it and want to remain doing it until they are dead.
John was always not as showbiz friendly , he was a quieter musician type..
I think he is more sane actually that Brian and Roger
they have Rock 'n Roll insanity rock till you drop.
But i don't think John would have retired totally IF Freddie was around.
And i think they would still be making albums, not touring like they did though. maybe just promotional appearances live one song now and again.
I think the secret thing is, John liked Freddie's voice and musical ideas and everything that was Freddie as much as all of us!
and so like us, nothing can ever be good enough.
And Brian and Roger? well , they started smile and have been going at it ever since. and they wont stop cos' get the smile feelin' from music and being in it, and like it too much to stop, so never will.

What has stuck with me for the last 22 years is the disrespect shown To John by RT while John was doing something he was clearly uncomfortable with (public speaking) not helped by his mic not working to start with.[/QUOTE]
nah that not dissing John
Roger did that on the Live Aid photo shoots also
Roger is just showing his mussels are in good condition because he is a drummer and still strong.
Roger makes jokes.
He called John a psychopath you know?
but it must be a joke
because John is not a psychopath
i mean you cannot call him that just because he don't want to be working in music anymore
and because queen a company he still gets some money shares
thats not reason enough to say he has psychopathic behaviour
he is just part of the agreed queen company its his guaranteed share of the pie his retirement
even if he don't do anything well its
cos he is retired.!
so it must have been a joke
If John was really a psychopath he would have retired in 1975 and become Queen's manager and screwed them for every penny of success they had which was a lot!!!
he would not have slogged his guts out for another 15 years!
In fact when Roger said that
i thought it was a publicity stunt and made me think John might be going to be showing himself publicly someway soon.

If you watch the video it's less a muscle rub (as it does look like on the picture) and more a French f##k off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPHvKa6NeLE

Maybe that is why Al Murray was talking about John Deacon
not muscle rub

ok you can hardly hear john - a balloon hits roger and a air horn goes off at same time- you cant hear john for crowd and now air horn and balloon in rogers face and that is when Roger does the sign- Roger is stressed out- he said you can cry as much as you want etc- plus a f * you to aids
that could be why Roger did the sign
or he doesn't like Metallica (joke)
on that day they would all be on edge and emotional and wanting everything to go right.Plus i pick up that John didn't even want to face anything about Freddie's death and instead just announced the first band it looks cold but its not- its detachment because he cannot talk about it
i think its all bullshit and not v nice to even hint at that kind of thing.
people cope with grief differently
Freddie was aware that others would be in pain over him that was one of his concerns
he didn't want to upset others
being helpless to help him is too much
i dont like anything to do with it all either
i cant really watch days of our lives etc
i avoid it all

Chased by fans, something like 10/15 years ago (no smart phones or digital cameras........)

This is heartbreaking, especially when he puts his face into his hands for a good deal longer than is comfortable, you can just tell he would rather be anywhere else but there at that moment.

John seemed relieved once the cameraman stepped back. That said, perhaps some of the people should have been content with being within 10 feet of John, and backed off when they saw he was very uncomfortable, rather than insisting on an autograph.

Somehow seeing that video makes me very sad. A man just wants to be left alone... I just don't understand how some people can be so inconsiderate and disrespectful.

Is it just me or does John seem very drunk in this video? Not that it excuses being hounded like this, but it might explain his very dramatic hands-in-face gesture.

Nah, I don't think so. He's just socially awkward.

I like the way he forced that girl to kiss him on the ear. Nice move John! And that jumper... so fashionable.
