john deacon - true queen or not?

He wanted a career in music and now he's done with it. Leave him alone. Let the man be with his family. I'm sure he's proud of his contributions to the band, as are we, but he's done with music. There's no contract saying he had to give up any possibility of a normal life.

He is True Queen..rigth?!

without John Deacon...THERE WOULD BE NO QUEEN

listen to your favourite track...imagine it without a bassline! thats what you get minus John

anyway. he did queen for 20 years... a gruelling schedule with all eyes on him and his life for the majority of it. He's been John Deacon, international rock star. perhaps now he just wants to be John Deacon, father of (how ever many children he has). and I respect him for that. He's done it to see the people that really matter to him,his family. could any of us begrudge that? we are just fans. he owes us nothing. he was part of something that for over 20 years gave us fucking fab(quoting freddie out take) music.

queen's music does live on. Just a queen album in the CD player..it still lives on. Queen music is part of our lives, and many people on this board are too young to remember queen as an active fourpiece(myself include). well, queen's music is still alive and kicking!

I think Freddie died to get out of the band.

Finally someone said what I was thinking. Thank you!

AHHHHHHHH!!!! seriously i didnt mean he was happy when freddie mercury died, i meant that he was happy, that after fm died that queen was all over

"so how come jd is doing this?"

you may understand if you read this:

it made me cry

"hey guys - so john deacon was glad when freddie died that queen was all over"

I think he meant to say...

Although sad that Freddie had died, he was "relieved" that queen was over.

You brits should really learn to speak our language. ;-)

BTW, I saw Queen 3 times live back here in the USA.

Kentucky fan's right I think... Newbie wanted to say John was relieved (not glad) when Freddie died. Maybe relieved because Freddie's pain was finally over.. Anyway it's about 10000000th time this has been spoken about, and I really don't get it why do you guys even bother to answer this topics again and again...

i think our little john deacon should do what he wants...forget i said that other post...;)

I couldn't be bothered to read all that-what's the jist :-P

It's sorta like John's biography, only he didn't write it. Quite good, but I've only read the first chapter. It made me realise why John didn't want to be part of Queen anymore after Freddie died. I respect him even more now. ;D

Okay, you're a newbie so I'll be 'nice' to you for this one. DON'T post about John Deacon and whether or not he should be doing what Brian and Roger are doing. We hear it all the time, it just leads to fights and we're all sick of it.

oh yeah, and how long have you been here?! Yeah, fred mate, i wouldnt ever say John was 'glad' in any way that freddie died. Maybe relieved is the word you are looking for

No, don't think so. I'd remember... Btw, nice to finally meet you;)
