His book is worth a read. Puts a whole new slant on Death On Two Legs.
John Deacon seemed to be very grateful for what he did for Queen.

He incidentally gave us one of my favourite songs DOTL, Fred will have a few choice words for him when he gets up there ! R.I.P.

I am lost.
Is this the man Death On Two Legs was written about?
And how Freddie despised him so much when, as mentioned above, Deacon was very grateful for what he did for Queen

Gets up there? If the band are to be believed, Norman Sheffield is headed to go in the downward direction - £200 between the four each week hardly seems fair, and it was thanks to Sheffield.

Yes, but it was in 1837, when £200 was a fortune.

I'll have a(nother) Captain Obvious moment but: no, he didn't; Freddie did. Norman was, allegedly, the person about whom the song was written, but he wasn't the one who wrote the song, therefore he was not the one who 'gave [you]' DOTL, same way Marilyn Monroe didn't write 'Candle in the Wind', Freddie Mercury didn't write 'No-One But You' and John Lennon didn't write 'Life Is Real.'

Notice the word ''incidentally'', meaning the song was written about him, had they never met, no song. Geddit ?
Sebastian · Member since
Had Freddie's mum and dad never met, no song; had a drunk driver killed Fred (or Norman) five years earlier (or even five weeks earlier), no song. We could make loads of people 'incidentally' responsible for that, that's completely irrelevant.
The song is Freddie's, he's the one who 'gave it' to us.
