Where is John Deacon?
| queenrocks! 10902 05.12.2003 14:45 |
To all Queen fans, have you asked yourself where the hell has John Deacon gone? Because when WWRY-the musical opened in London only Brian & Roger went, John didn't. If I didn't know better I'd say these three possibilities. 1. He is dead and the media doesn't know. 2. He has emigrated from the U.K. or 3. He doesn't give a damn about Queen and wishes he never joined the band. Let me know if you agree. |

or 4. He hates ignorant "fans" who keep asking where he is. I go for 4! |
| [StArMaN] 05.12.2003 14:52 |
Rumor says that he hidden somewhere in France :). It would be a good place for him, because nobody knows him, here. |
| Anto 05.12.2003 14:58 |
I reckon he's still trying to break the record for driving around the world in a Fiat 127 in the fastest time possible and he's still in Belgium |

"Because when WWRY-the musical opened in London only Brian & Roger went, John didn't." John wás there - Rien took a photo of him, it should be on his site somewhere (mercuryparadise.com) |
| Lester Burnham 05.12.2003 15:28 |
I'd go with option number 3, because it is the most plausible and all. |

3. ppl r 2 obsessed! lol i can talk ;p |
| Rien 05.12.2003 15:48 |
Well, I didn't take that picture myself, it was Steven, but John Deacon walked just by me, after the world première of the WWRY musical. btw. My site should be back on December 16th at the latest. |
| MexQueenFM 05.12.2003 15:54 |
I just hope John's ok :) |
| Saffron Caribou 05.12.2003 16:50 |
John! He is just posting on QZ, and taking striptease questions! Never question the Wizard of Deacyland! I did, and look at me now! I'm acting goofy! |
| Matti 06.12.2003 00:17 |
Lol. |

Playing golf in Epsom Surrey was the last time I saw him, then drove off in a red masda mx5 about 5 months ago |

oh..he's hiding in that stripclub...;) |
| geeksandgeeks 09.12.2003 16:17 |
Niek, that was completely unnecessary. Did you consider that maybe she doesn't know and is asking out of curiosity? To Queenrocks!, John is retired. He briefly reentered to record No One But You, and then left again. |
| Daburcor? 09.12.2003 16:41 |
"Where is John Deacon?" Or rather, How is he doing. :D |
| FriedChicken 09.12.2003 19:54 |
"Niek, that was completely unnecessary. Did you consider that maybe she doesn't know and is asking out of curiosity?" I know I was rude, but be honest, don't you ever get sick of all those new people who ask the same question over and over again. We really need a FAQ. __ Richard if you're watching!:) |
| iron eagle 09.12.2003 20:14 |
actually he is at my flat right now visiting with the family |
| Daburcor? 10.12.2003 02:00 |
Funny how things work out then, eh? ;) |
| agneepath9 10.12.2003 02:39 |
where is Deacon? ask Greg Brooks at Queenonline Q&A: he'll be happy to answer your question! |
| queenrocks! 10902 10.12.2003 13:27 |
Finally someone has mentioned QUEEN ONLINE, I did check Greg's Q&A and he said he is happily retired |
| FriedChicken 10.12.2003 15:06 |
Greg says a lot of things |
| geeksandgeeks 10.12.2003 18:00 |
Actually, Niek, we do have an FAQ - and you don't want to know the types of things that show up in it. link And this classic: link |
| FriedChicken 10.12.2003 18:23 |
as long as the answers are right |
| akindofmagic 10.12.2003 23:34 |
Fuck John! He is(always was) my favorite Queen member but i am very disapointed with his behaivor. I don't care if some of you would say that we have to respect him for the retirement, for his family business or for the suposedly Freddie's respect(what i think is bullshit). John is forgetting those who made him what he is. Both fans and partners(Bri,Roger,Jim Beach) |

| Voice of Reason 2018 11.12.2003 08:12 |
He lives in my shed. I share a 2 litre plastic bottle of cider with him every now and then... |
| geeksandgeeks 12.12.2003 15:53 |
I don't follow you, AKOM. How is John "forgetting" about the other members of the band, Jim Beach, etc.? Did Jack Irons "forget" the other members of his band(s) when he retired? Did Bill Berry "forget" the other members of REM? Is no one allowed to just be tired of it all anymore? |
| akindofmagic 12.12.2003 17:54 |
Bill Berry retired for healthy problems, and in fact he played some songs with REM in a show last month. John is simply having the "cerebral dead" guy behavior. I would respecting him most if he sued in courtroom Brian and Roger for keeping the Queen's name, or if he rejoin the band! This "i don't care about a thing" behavior is simply non-respectful! |

John is forgetting those who made him what he is. Both fans and partners(Bri,Roger,Jim Beach)' He made himself what he is. A great bassist that played in a band called Queen. He contributed just as much as anyone else did. If he wanted to retire, and not be embarrased (if I were him I would be because of what they are doing these days) let him. Who are you to tell him anything? |
| geeksandgeeks 12.12.2003 20:27 |
Bill Berry DID retire for health reasons - but when he left the band, all hell broke loose on the fan sites, sort of like it's done with Deacon before. You wouldn't believe the number of people who are still after him. It's the same thing. And I totally agree with you, Matt. |
| Lara 14.12.2003 05:35 |
I do admire John's great inteligence and his obvious devotion to Freddie and to Queen as It used to be! I couldn't have come up with any better solution to what happened in 1991 and after than he did. JOHN RULES!!! |
| Uglyduckling 15.12.2003 06:37 |
The FAQ is scary. I just hope Deaky is doing OK. Hate to think he was depressed and/or reclusive. I know its not of our business. |
| Brian_Mays_Wig 15.12.2003 06:46 |
Last I heard he was living in that hole with Saddam Hussain and when the military bust in on Saturday John managed to break free (excuse the pun) and Saddam pinched his wig and used it as a beard. There's now an army of Queen fans in Tikrit, Bagdhad searching for a bald, big nosed madman, who runs around like a freak waving a red Fender Precision as though its an M16. |
| Brian_Mays_Wig 15.12.2003 06:47 |
Honest, it was on Sky News this morning.... link |
| FriedChicken 15.12.2003 07:03 |
"It's the same thing." No it's not, John never left the band, but he just stopped working in Queen. |
