Queen is a band, not just one person. What some of you never realize is that every time John wanted to leave, it was Freddie who convinced him to stay.

    Funny, I'm almost the same age as John Deacon, and had not over my life of raising kids etc. realized that all these songs I so enjoyed were by the same group. I have spent a lot of the last 2 "quarantine" months watching videos of Queen, reading stories etc and I quite realize now that he was a very important part of the synergy that was Queen. With the loss of Freddie, the group became unbalanced and I can very much understand why this quiet man (who tended to keep a poker face when he could) decided to step out--He has enough and lucky indeed is the man who can realize that.
    John, the only other thing I can say, IF you are reading this: I wish I had met you.

А ведь без него не было бы той группы Queen, которую мы знаем, любим и слушаем вот уже полвека. И самое главное, чем он меня покорил, это его преданность Фредди как при жизни, так и после его смерти. Респект и уважение тебе, Джон Дикон, преданный молчаливый друг Легенды.

    Poor guy. I believe he was Bi, as were Brian & Roger, & they were deeply in love with Freddie but never could come out. In John's case, Freddie's death messed him up for life-he wasn't able to overcome his love for Freddie. His true love died. He couldn't even visit him when he was still in relatively decent shape compared to what became of him. The other 2 were different. It's all ok, just very sad for John & the rest of his life.

I mean, I don't know your situation with which member you know, but why would you "know" for sure anything that, at that time, was not spoken about to anyone. Freddie only told Mary he was Bi. Hey, I'm a 100% straight man & I love Queen, & each member. Again, I'm going by what I read in that book, as well as another I'm not sure of which title right now. So, these claims may be "in the vault" for Brian, John & Roger. I'll stick by what I read in detail. Doesn't matter to me one way or another.
