    John was quietly dignified, but definitely not a push over. I believe Freddie's death hit very hard and he once said the is no Queen without 💔 Freddie.

      It did, i was lucky to get to know John's right hand man when they were on tour. I had met Wal when i was working on security on other shows. He was a top guy & said John had been devastated by Freddies death, i think he said at one stage John had said "Thats it, Queen is finished!" ... i think he was right, no one can follow freddie!

    What do you mean he retired from the band for some private reason? There was nothing private about it, he said he couldn't do it anymore, it was too hard for him to carry on in the band after what happened to Freddie.

    Conosco già la vita di John , ma vederla raccontata in video è tutta un altra cosa. Per John la morte di Freddie è stata troppo devastante tanto da indurlo ad abbandonare la band. Qualche volta il dolore è troppo forte e ti costringe a fare delle scelte .... è lui ha scelto, io non lo biasimo spero solo che il suo dolore si sia sopito . Grazie Ben per la condivisione. Ti auguro una buona domenica. 😘

    Talking about John Deacon
    Freddie Mercury:
    "John is the anchor of the band." ('70s)
    "If God forsakes us now the rest of the group won't do anything unless John says it's all right."
    "He's sort of quiet, lots of people think that. Don't underestimate him, he's got a fiery streak underneath all that. I talk so much anyway, he like to let me do all the talking. But once people crack that thin ice, then he's alright. (You can never stop him talking then)." (1976)
    Brian May:
    "John's got a good business mind. He also has a complete sense and understanding of rhythm and how rock and business work together." ('80s)
    "John, too, the archetypal quiet bass player - he can be incredibly considerate and inexplicably rude, make someone curl up and die with a couple of sentences. He's very strange, but he's the leader on the business side, studies the stock market, understands the deals." ('90s)
    "Well, John was always into funk and always liked sparseness and tight drum sounds and just funky music. He liked R&B and black music, and he only kind of suffered rock and roll because he was in a rock and roll band [laughs]. He's a great bass player, I think much better than people realize. He's very inventive and very lyrical, but also very funky." (1998)
    Roger Taylor:
    "We thought he was great. We were all so used to each other, and were over the top. We thought that because he was quiet he would fit in with us without too much upheaval. He was a great bass player too - and the fact that he was a wizard with electronics was definitely a deciding factor,"

    The band was already named Queen before John joined. They had 3 other bass players with the name Queen before John. Freddie had written a song called My Fairy King around 1970/71, there's a line in it that goes 'mother mercury, look what they've done to me, i cannot run, i cannot hide'. The mother in the song was freddie referring to his own mother and therefore changed his surname to Mercury

  • @debbie7505

    The thing that always impressed me was that he was such a great family man. I may be wrong but I think he married his wife in the early 70’s who he is still with & he has 6 children. For someone with a rock band in the 70’s that is quite impressive. You didn’t speak about that at all.
