Wow big thanks to you linda. I miss you 💙
Happy 72nd Birthday to you Queen Legend John Richard Deacon, Hearty wishes from Hyderabad, India. 19/08/2023
What a wonderful musician and bandmate to Brian, Freddie and Roger! Deacy will forever be a huge part of one of the greatest bands of all time, QUEEN! Such a private and lovely man who now enjoys his family and life out of the spotlight. Well done John, you will forever be remembered and loved by millions. Thank you for all the glorious music!
One quarter of the greatest band there will ever be...Great bassist and talented songwriter.Bidding is starting at a billion dollars for their catalogue,Deaky deserves it.
I have always felt that Freddie's death hit John much harder then people realized.
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!
@@kevinparker461 If I am not mistaken John considered Freddie as a brother and not just a friend and bandmate.
he said without freddy there is no queen
Thank you Deacy for all that you have contributed, in your lifetime, to Queen. You will always have a place in my heart. What a talent. 💕🎸🎶🎼🎹
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.
You are my evetlasting idol, love Deacy… the most talented, the best bassist, songwriter pf all times…
I love Freddie and QUENN..Johny was amazing bassist..we miss him very much..thank you for all this information
Great band, great legacy. Thank you John D for an honest heartfelt truth!
Deaky is in a very different place to the other two...no amount of money can insulate you from severe depression that I have suffered from.Well enjoy your legacy John I am sure Freddie would have wanted it.
Fantastic bass guitarlist 🎸 for the amazing band QUEEN 👑 forever they are champions of the world 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🥁super thanks
Yeah 😍
@@HowelBen your welcome keep doing these awesome videos thanks howel Ben
Thank you for this succinct recap of Deacy's musicianship and involvement that enabled his legendary Queen career. I liked it!
John Deacon, the only remaining member with loyalty and dignity.
Bull crap. John retired because of his own mental health struggles. He fully supports what Brian & Roger do. He cannot handle it himself.
@@jeffsymons4535 Everyone who has just discovered Queen through a film claims to know more than the fans of the first hour. This is how I can read some comments where they take their desire for a reality. In short ! they say anything to show off.
John misses his best friend Freddie i feel for him 😢
God Bless You John Deacon And Your Beautiful Family. 💞 💫 We Love And Miss You. Thank You Very Much John, For Your Excellent Bass Guitarist, And Keyboard Talents.
As Freddie Always Said, "We Are Each 25%
Of Each Talent, That Made " QUEEN" The Most Successful, Loved, And Legendary Band In The World. 🎶👑 🎹🎤 🎶🎸 🎶🥁 🎶🎸
May Your Beautiful Spirit Forever Shine ✨ Rest In Peace 🕊️ And Happiness 🌈 Darling 💖

Welcome my dear
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,"
His is the BEST story to revisit if you are emotionally pining to get lost in a brief moment with the lovely Queen boys.
We miss you Deacy. 😢😢
John has all the traits of a life path 7 . That explains the unspoken connection between him and Freddie. Same with Mary.
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.
Shall we also talk about how he cheated on his wife, with a stripper he met in a strip club, bought her a car and a flat lol
@@AlexanderNorman-wd4qo did not know that
@@debbie7505 true story, was all over the news around 1996/97
That was when he and his good friend John OX Entwhistle went on a crazy period round Vegas. John woke up and thankfully him and Veronica are still together today
Rumours were John & Freddie were lovers.
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. 😘
Welcome my dearest
We are missing you 😢💞👑🇬🇷
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.
Самый верный и настоящий друг Фредди - это Джон. Я безмерно уважаю и люблю этого замечательного человека, талантливого музыканта и верного друга. Я скучаю по тебе, Дикки.
Nice to see Deke get the love.
Deacon was always such nice guy and so shy. He would come out of his shell privately due to Mercury being his champion.
Deacon looked up to Mercury. Partly due to the fact that Freddie protected him and helped him with his anxiety in performing and dealing with such incredible fame and its pressures. Freddie also encouraged him to write songs. Deacon was beloved by his band members.
Deacon considered Freddie his best friend and when he died it devastated Deacon so much he never recovered from his grief and depression over it. One day shortly after Freddie's death Deacon said he needed some time off to deal with things and never came back. He did sometimes step in and help perfroming with Brian and Roger but, never on a permanent basis.
Brian and Roger understood this. They knew how deeply the death of Freddie effected him.
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
Thank you Howel Ben! For 9 lovely days in August, I am the same age as Deaky! I have a 😊 big smile on my face for each of those days!!
Happy birthday in advance my dear. Great!
Thanks for focusing on Deaky! ❤
John D. is a hero of a man. This is rare. ❤
Well done. I love Queen. 1990 and 1991 were very hard: in 1990 we lost Viktor Tsoi and then in 1991 we lost Freddie.
He had/has a family behind him that allowed him to take the consequences and retire. He no longer needed this purchased applause.
That’s 12 minutes I’ll never get back! Was expecting something new
Hvala predivni Ben.
I don't know if John Deacon was the greatest bass player ever, as you suggest, but he is certainly one of the most intelligent.
I've played bass for almost 50 years and I guess I know a bit about it for that reason. John Deacon is a brilliant bass player who doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He was never flashy or showy and shunned the limelight.
Technically he is excellent and his creative skills are outstanding. But then he is a good all round guitarist too. He has a very melodic style and everyone knows his bass riffs, from Under Pressure to Kinda Magic, Dragon Attack, Somebody to Love, etc.
Is he the greatest bass player ever.....well, I don't know. There are many great players from John Entwistle to Jaco Pastorius. They are all great and John deserves a place amongst them
Luv you John
Let him peace!
Spread Your Wings is always left out.
I think John probably hasn't gotten over Freddie's death yet
He called himself mercury because he is a virgo and virgos planet is mercury
THANK'S BEN.
Bardzo zdolny gitarzysta , lojalny i wrażliwy.. Trudno było mu bez Freddiego. Szanujemy i tęsknimy.
That knee slapper instrumental is gonna be a hit.
Deacy did not write One Vision, Roger Taylor wrote it.
Deacy lost a piece of his soul when Freddie passed. I think most of us did .
Where is John Deacon now and what is he doing? Is he happy and fullfilled?
❤❤❤❤❤❤ el se retiró cuando se fuel el Alma de Queen , por supuesto sin desmerecer al grupo ❤❤❤
Wow
Has John Deacon not always been in real life???
Who is John Deacon in real life? I hear (from reliable sources) he does turns down the Fox and Hound under the name Jack the Stripper.
Most gifted? Geddy Lee???
jaco pastorius....
john entwistle....
Commentary would've been nice...loses it's punch without it...
I was expecting to listen to somebody's explanation. Not have to put up with strident music distracting me from trying to read something extra slowly with too many mid-sentence pauses. Not even a minute into it and i've had enough. 👎
To Freddie Brian Rodger and a truly memorable group 4 well suited for the only they made queen truly the best rock and roll band in the world
THANK'S BEN.
Welcome dear
