You guys really don't understand it do you? John isn't just simply retired, he has agoraphobia. If you don't know what it means look it up

"Deacy always stayed involved in the business side of things..."
...and he sure still is! He would be a fool if not, cause it´s in his own interrest. Remember he has a lot of hungry mouth to feed at home... ;-)
Owning 25% of the shares in Queen Productions gives him the right to be heard within their company... but it´s way short of the majority! And to be honest, I doubt that any business decisions they made within Queen Productions after 1991 has reduced his income so far...
John is no longer a part of the front end of the business, he's no longer playing on stage... but he sure is "playing behind the stage" as good as he can... So anyone out there with a "backstage pass" say hello to John! ;-)

And you KNOW all this do you?
Brian and Roger consistently contradict themselves whenever they talk about John, to the point that it's amazing how anyone believes anything thet they say about it. What we DO know is that:
1 - John was put out by MANY of the Queen+ collaborations (Robbie Willams, 5ive etc)
2 - John is not involved in this tour - whether he was actually invitedor not, I dont recall having seen anything that says "We asked John but he declined the offer" - correct me if I'm wrong.
3 - Brian or Roger have said a number of things that indicate he is no longer involved on any level at the same time as saying that he IS involved in the business decision-making.
Frankly, I could care less - John's doing what John wants to do and more power to him. If he changes his mind in the future, I hope Brian and Roger have the grace to get him on board.

Looking forward to John Deacon's Queen going on the road soon ;-)
Didn't you know? Queen + Paul Rodgers and Razorlight are both support bands for the Hyde Park Gig. The main band is The Immortals. I'm going to get John to sign my arse and I'll never wash it again. ;-)
Does anyone even know what John looks like these days? Are there any recent photos of him?

Very bald! Have a look on the John Photo section, there's a (very small) photo from last year. Believe it or not, he's the guy in the middle.
Benn, I do recall once reading that John was asked to play and declined.

John has probably forgot how to play anyway.
