I've heard that John has serious problems with joining open spaces such as stadiums and outdoors, that he has some kind of fobbie's (is this the correct word[what i meant is to say he is scared of these places and he cant deal with them anymore so he rather stays at home...?) Here is Roger Taylor's QUOTE on the radio station month or less before Return Of The Champions tour started in 2005. here is EXCACT what Roger said: ROGER TAYLOR: "He really doesent like going out, you know, and he doesent enjoy alot of people Shocked , crowded rooms and things like that Shocked and really, we sort of lost touch , we did actually get in touch with John and so naturally pleased John, you know, you are pleased you know, it would be fun, but he is not ready into it so ... thats fair enough" |

If someone does not enjoy being in crowded places that does not mean he suffers from any kind of phobia - it just means he wants to be left alone. It's not fair to start rumours about John Deacon like that. If you respect his work you should respect his privacy and not speculate about his state of mind on a public board. |

it seems roger is very cold towards john now. I didnt like things he said on the 30th anniversary doco of a night at the opera either. just becuase john doesnt wanna keep milkin everything from Queen name doesnt mean they have to be cold to him. |
john bodega 22.05.2006 09:26 |
I heard a rumour that he retired. |
Sebastian 22.05.2006 09:47 |
Even if John were agoraphobic, Roger shouldn't be speading those details about somebody who, apparently, was his bandmate and friend during twenty years. What a lack of respect, dignity and ethics (once again)! |
radio_what's_new 22.05.2006 10:39 |
John has always been a weirdo...I like his songs but that doesn't mean I have to think of him as if he was a god |
Togg 22.05.2006 10:39 |
I really don't think anybody in Queen has been cold to John, at the end of the day they have said he retired and have been pestered so many times as to why he is not there, they have clarified John's reasons. No problem there, nobody has said he has a medical problem/condition that's just been conjecture on the boards. All they have said is he doesn't like to go out much and espesially when there are lots of people. Well maybe because he is shy, or maybe he is just fed up with show business. You are reading too much into this. |
Serry... 22.05.2006 10:44 |
Roger said few not very friendly things about John's retirement in private talking with fans about one year ago. I really don't think that Brian and Roger were trying so hard to recrute him on the recent tour - if you really want the guy to play with you and you know that guy for over 30 years - that's not the best way to write him letters then, IMHO. |
bonnzzo 22.05.2006 10:52 |
Guys, Bill Wyman just up and retired because he wanted to.....it has happend before..... |
bonnzzo 22.05.2006 11:23 |
But on the other had I am going to contradict myself. With all this talk about not wanting to play in huge venues....if that is the reason of the month (I think he just retired), no body is bringing up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Over the years we have seen many different people with different ailments, physically and emotional be at the Ceremonies. Even band mates who have had differences with others. Johns absence at that event was very curious. He may have a phobia of large places, he may just wanted to go out with Freedie and leave on top of the world, but sometime, somewhere I truly believe that he wanted to retire, but something happened, something was said, I don’t know who, I don’t know why, and to be honest its none of our business. But I believe it is more like (70% wanting to retire and 30% dealing with that mysterious incident) |
ROCKMAMA 22.05.2006 12:57 |
Whatever the reasons are that John does not want to participate public in Queen's honors and such is John Deacon's personal business and fans should leave it at that. ROCKMAMA |
bonnzzo 22.05.2006 14:01 |
I concur |

Here's my opinion about mr john richard deacon and why he's basically done his time with queen. Back in 1991 he knew that the band was nearing it's end with freddie's illness taking control, coping with his death and a very close colleague must have been very devasting for him and knowing that the next few years he would be busy with the last album and tribute concert would have occupied his mind. Apart from the TSMGO appearance in paris and NOBY what else was there for him to do and i believe after all this had gone he realised "fuck what AM I GOING TO DO NOW" , brian and roger had solo careers out of the band and he had nothing and i bet he knew that he alone could not be as successful as roger and brian. So he gets out knowing that queen no longer exists as freddie has gone and perhaps couldn't see anything further developing with just the three of them and who knows if there is a 'mysterious incident' that hasn't be brought to life, we will only know from one person and one person alone>>>>>> John deacon. God bless john and i hope we do see you again in some capacity soon. |

"What did Roger said?" He wasn't happy about John's retirement while he and Brian are working hard with musicals etc. No more comments about it, sorry. "I allways thought that Jonh is the one that writes letters to support the band. It happened with Nelson Mandela 4664 and WWRY, and now with the recent tour. Am i wrong?" I really don't think that Brian wrote letter to Paul "would you like to play with us?" and that they haven't met untill rehearsals started. |

He's just introverted. Unlike Freddie who would say "fuck off" and people whould have to leave, John does not say that, he simply "fucks off" himself and disappears into the dark. He likes his peace and quiet. |

Firstly, Queen was 4 vital parts..take one away something's missing ..take two away its a joke! Both Brian and Roger couldn't wait to get going on their own..Brian may band and the cross ..this when Freddie was still here..they had already moved on. Only when these ventures FAILED did they get together and call them selves Queen ...which they are not...Queen was the 4 of them but Freddie was the STAR that made everything brighter and brought the best out of each of them. IMO John acknowledges this and realises that without Freddie anything that they do ,together or apart will be less than what they had...so why bother. In the year after Freddie's passing John had 2 more children and clearly decided to enjoy the other half of his life...his wife and family...6 kids..wow!! John is a magnificent bassist ,he doesnt need fan worship,he's respected by his peers and was acknowleged by Freddie as ' the best'....enough praise for anyone I should think. Add to this his writing achievements, plus his electronics wizardry...just read up on the deacy amp to understand what a genius he is! At 60 he's a very wealthy man with a loving wife , 6 kids and a few grand kids . Some of his boys are musicians , very talented check them out! |

re: >Both Brian and Roger couldn't wait to get going on their own..Brian may band and the Cross ..this when Freddie was still here..they had already moved >on. > >Only when these ventures FAILED did they get together and call them selves Queen ... Incorrect - EMI pulled the budget set aside for The Cross when they realised that Innuendo was going to be a decent record. The Cross had seen great success in mainland Europe touring and with Blue Rock so EMI simply didn't want there to be a distraction for Roger which might have taken his eye away from Queen. The Brian May Band failed because Brian didn't have the gumption to stick with it - there was some great music on BTTL but his desire to revert back to type and keep churning cover versions of 1950's material meant that AW would be a failure as a touring piece. That Twitty Conway thing at the start of his '98 shows has to be the very WORST decision ever made by a member of Queen. |

I am curious where you found that information about EMI pulling the budget? sounds possible but never have I seen anything to back that up.

Don't know why John only communicates with Roger and Brian through e mails that is very odd. Also why wouldn't he show up for awards they receive, he was an essential part of the group. The other two never have a bad word to say about him, but I believe there's more to it that none of them are revealing, which I give them all credit for being so private especially when having kept quiet about Freddie's illness all throughout. |
