Oh!

And now that I remember the Hutton book, he didn't event talk to Freddie during his last MONTHS (not days) of life.


It's a pity. After all the magic he did before 1990.
eee...
I truly enjoy this topic

...but I'm afraid I'm gonna ruin it with one little stupid question...
I mean...Has he realy got the 7th child?Last that I've known it was number 6.

Forgive my being nosy.Be nice and just answer.
Thank you.
is it 6? good god! i didn't know -- i was just pulling numbers out of the air for comical effect.
Deaky has a life. Roger and Brian doesn't.

maybe they like to do what they do
Was Jim Hutton telling the truth? I've never heard anyone else say that John didn't speak to Freddie in the last months...

Also, I'm sure I read that John said he 'went spare' as the recording of Innuendo advanced at a snail's pace.

What's wrong with him wanting to spend more time with his family, anyway? John owes no-one anything. To claim otherwise is stupid. After 20 years playing in a rock band, I'm not surprised he doesn't want to do it anymore. You know, playing the same songs over and over, night after night - what could be worse for an intelligent person? It's the definition of boredom!

No Freddie no Queen, lets face it "Rock You" would never have happened if Freddie was still alive and why would John want to associate himself with a (Jim Beach?) ego project which serves to keep May & Taylor in the limelight when their respective solo efforts flop? Brian & Rogers intentions are in the right place playing at such events as 46664 but lets get real they were very poor. Roger looks overweight and unfit, Brians voice is shot so why would John want to join that?
I have nothing but admiration for John for showing respect to Freddie and not sullying the legendary Queen name (or is it Queen+..?). And fair enough John gets massive royalties for the use of his music but he's earned it. How much input does he really have now with projects such as "On Fire", another great Jim Beach Production.
Long Live Freddie...wish you were here!


Congratulations ... you win. :)

I'd think that after maaaany years of touring and all that, he could take his retirement and have a life outside of Queen. He's entitled to it by now, but complete hermitude wasn't quite what the world was looking for, I'll admit. Ah, well. Rest up, Deaky. The world's still waiting.

Oh when is Richard writing that newbie page? Even I, the champion of the newbies, is getting tired of this one!
John has priorities - his family. Brian and Roger have their priorities - music. Freddie has his priorities - staying as ashes.

John wants to spend time with his six sons(his youngest son is almost 10) and one daughter. Brian and Roger are doing great with the archival concerts coming out. However, I didn't like the Pepsi commercial they did with Britney, Beyonce and Pink!

I often think fans tend to forget about John Deacon. I know he says that he dosen't sing and rarely gives interviews, you got to think he was one of the best bass guitarist in Queen's era.

i think he was wise to retire, i mean obviously he never wanted to do music to do with roger and brian because he want ed to keep all the memories that they had as a band , i think john takes great pride in that and i can see his point of veiw, no freddie, no queen end of story!x great move john!x
my fairy king is freddie!
John was always the shy guy in the band - and maby the smartest, he knew that Queen has die when Freddie died....

But That's great that Brian and Roger are still playing their music and interwiew and stuff... I like that :)

But I would like to hear more from John, just a little, just to be sure that he's still alive or sum :)
