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.
"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)
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.
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.
"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!:)
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)
"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
Some of the things people come up with....!
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?
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!

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?
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.
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!!!
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.
