Where is John Deacon?

He I just met him yesterday at thet grocery, I told him that you folks where looking for him. He said hi, but I was forced to promise him that I not told you wich city it is :-)

I don't mind if John never tours or records again. But is it really so much to ask that he show up at a one-time gig now and again? Bestowing prestigious honors on the man doesn't even bring him out of his cave. Some token of appreciation for the fans that keep him so rich he can retire early and sit on his ass the rest of his life would be nice. Cripes, John, throw us a bone, will ya man? Please!

Yeah i agree, it would be nice to see him, even if he doesn't play anything it would be a treat,
Rather then hearing that the mystical john has spoken through brian and roger once more, its beggining to sound more like a seance then anything else lol!

But yeah, would be nice to hear from HIM once in a while :)

I agree - a letter for the fan club mag or an online post wouldn't intrude on him; he wouldn't have to deal face to face with anyone and could say hi to us all. As you say, it's because of all the money we've spent on him that he's able to live in luxury now, having effectively retired in 1991 (other than a couple of guest appearances on one recorded track, the FM Tribute concert and the ballet thing), before he was even 40!!

Things are great. Checks could be bigger.

John

He does not owe us anything. We do, and I am thankful.

I understand your point, and I have already asked him, by mail via OIQFC, back in 1997, not to retire. But I did so by telling him how him and his music were important to me.

It is not fair to demand anything from him. What if he is not in a position to give what you want? What if he wants to, but just cannot, due to personal reasons?

Keep rocking, buddy.

Cheers,

Ogre-

Well, we don't know at all whether John, as a mature adult, is suffering from some heart condition or something that keeps him away from stages, so I think demanding him to be back is unfair and selfish.

I like to think that John knows best what's good for him and his family, that he knows that Queen was a lovely dream that's over now (at least, the Queen as we knew it) and that he has no need at all to be in a stage or in front of a camera to feel better or to boost his ego.

He must be feeling complete and fulfilled with whatever he's doing right now and that must be all that matters.

Allright...I think I´m not the only one who think FM is unreplaceable. I think John feels the same way. And even though Paul Rodgers does a great job, it isn´t what it used to be. And the fact that he´s got a family to take care of and is reaching his 60th brithday. I know I would call it quits...

Everybody thinks that Freddie and John are unreplaceable; but Paul and Danny are not replacing Freddie and John, that's the point!

john hasnt played with Queen since, i believe, 1997 when they played with elton john-the show must go on. I saw a recent pic of him, still had his hair, and of course he was a bit aged.[/QUOTE]could you send me pic if you can please

Roger mentioned that John doesn't like crowded places and lots of people around him...so let's say it's one of the reasons he didn't go on tour with them.
We all miss him,don't we:)?[/QUOTE]

well that's the another problem then if he "doesent like crowded places", but lets not discuss that here.

lets respect his will and that's all :)

The only thing that matters is that he's happy with his BIG family!
