Mr John Deacon

Seriously, I know this man is retired and hiding out all of these years but in all seriousness there has to be people who know where he lives. I can't believe that no journalist or a huge fan of him and the group has never gone to track him down with a camera and just video him, try to ask him questions, or anything like paparazzi here in the U.S. do. People can be secluded but anyone can be found and especially someone famous and especially someone with the "gone in hiding forever" mark on him. It would be cool just for him to say whats up to his fans or just his fans to say hey I know you are out of the business yada yada but we just wanted to say hi and we still and always love ya and miss you. For heavens sake, get his address, find the man and talk to the man!

Leave the man alone, he's made his decision and we should all respect him for it ! So far as the paparazzi go, they just don't see John as that big a deal. Unless he gets up to something really naughty ; )

With people who have attitudes like yours, it's little surprise that he remains in hiding. He owes Queen fans nothing whatsoever.

You must understand that in the UK there is no such thing as paparazzi. All UK journalists are highly respectful of celebrities and never bother them. I mean, we all know how Freddie used to literally BEG journalists to give him some attention, especially in 1991. Some say he used to purposefully leak photos of himself looking three-quarters dead, since no paparazzi ever turned up to his house to take the pictures themselves. The poor man - he just wanted to be in the news.

I agree. Although what the paparazzi does to mistreat celebrities in the US is wrong I think locating John and interviewing him wouldn't be terrible. He doesn't owe us anything but just because he's retired doesn't mean he shouldn't come out of the spotlight and hide from us.

have YOU actually read what you typed? do YOU know what RETIRED means? FFS - your post is borderline stalker....actually, no strike that...there's nothing "borderline" about you...you're a f*cking bona fide lunatic...go and take your meds

Swimming away from the fishing WUM.......

listen everyone, what I mean in my statement is that I can't believe in 17 years we have not seen many photos of the man, or nobody looking to interview him in any way. I guess in the UK nobody gives a rats behind about him. I guess John is not a legend over there in your history. Just the curiosity of knowing what he does does not peek the interest of anyone.

brenski, what the f are you talking about? Stalking comments? you are insane. Legends don't dissappear into obscurity. But like I just mentioned, I guess he is a nobody in today's terms.

There are some pics in this forum of him at some kind of strippers club, in a bar with the guys from a band (it seems that he's a regular visitor at that bar) etc

According to all the fans who have met him, he's a nice guy but he just dont want to be involved in the music scene anymore and it seems that he is no longer interested in playing, he claims that the last time he played bass was @ the Freddie Tribute in 1992, he forgot that he played in 1997, which I think its a proof that his mind is somewhere else.

I think we all know that by now, however not even ever to see pictures of him in the streets or in a restaurant or anyyhing. 17 years and we see like 3 photos of him?

honestly: read this: and tell me it doesn't appear stalkerish

well as he is no longer in public life then there is really no press interest in him. retired means retired. and i guess that the press accept it an awfull lot more than some QZ fans do.

The other thing is that he hasn't aged gracefully like Rog and Brian have in a relative sense. So maybe he would feel a bit embarassed having his face all over the place and everybody commenting. I know she's female, but journalists weren't slow in pointing out how much weight Kate Bush had gained when she made for first appearance in a long time at the Sky Awards back in 2011, when she won for her 50 Words For Snow album.

Yet everyone shits on Brian on this site. Sometimes Roger.
