The more I read about Queen and Freddie, the sadder I feel for Deaky.

Anytime anyone asks Phoebe Freestone about John on his blog (which is incredible btw google it immediately) he talks about how Freddie stuck close to John in the early days, feeling he needed to protect him from some of the craziness of the rock world. John was the baby of the four and Freddie took care of him, especially in the years before John got married.

Lots of people are quoted talking about how quiet he was without saying much else, but Freddie knew him better. Kenny Everett once described John as the quiet one and this was Freddie’s reply: “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). Freddie truly took the time to get to know him.

& in Jim’s book he says how glad he was that John came to Freddie’s funeral and how he took extra care to thank him for being there, because Freddie’s health decline had been so hard for John to deal with that he hadn’t been around as much those later days.

It’s no wonder John left the entertainment world in 97 — he was already a quiet person and i bet he couldn’t imagine making music without his buddy, his friend who knew him better than most — his band mom…the person who helped him out and kept him safe at the start.

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY JOHN DEACON!

I often wonder what Deacy gets up to in his retirement.  I think we have all heard that he spends time with his children and grandchildren and takes a lot of walks and has been seen golfing on occasion.  

What else does he do?   In that time late at night when he can’t sleep and his old mischievous self takes over?  

Here are some things I imagine him doing to keep himself amused.

Writes fanfiction  (I wonder what his pen name would be?)

Is the Admin and Moderator for a John Deacon Appreciation Facebook Group   (he quite enjoys blocking people and reporting them)

Trolls Brian May on his Instagram page and has 15 separate fake Instagram accounts for this very purpose.

Has a YouTube account solely for the purpose of making salty comments on Queen video content.  Particularly enjoys disliking ‘Reaction’ videos.

Sneaks into Queen Online Headquarters and erroneously fills merchandise orders.  

WHAT OTHER SHENANAGINS CAN YOU IMAGINE?

Are you always smiling and happy?

“Yeah, I think that laughing makes me feel better. I try to think about good things and smile, even if I had a bad day. It’s better than worrying too much.” - John Deacon  (Japanese magazine MUSIC LIFE interview,1979）

John looking like he was woken up from a sleepover and immediately put on stage

[macandlacy]

Something about John Deacon makes me absolutely feral. The shit he did. Man smashed through glass, got 19 stitches and still played a gig. Man got his license revoked and took public transport without being noticed. He had an electric scooter in the 60's. And a motorbike in the 90's. Wore booty shorts on stage. Threw peanuts in Brian's hair when Brian was performing. Went to adult toy stores in Japan and had a blast. Never revised for exams cos he never failed. And he never did. Said "aight imma head out" one day when recording Queen II without a reason. Turns out he was sitting his uni exam. Got first class honours. Once said in an interview "I am the devil" in Japanese. Split his trousers on stage. Got called prolific and laughed. Magazine couldn't send a photographer to take pics of the band so they hired John to do it. Took a photo of rogers ass. Tried to get one of Brian in the toilet. Went to buy a shirt in Japan before doing an interview and came back with a bottle of beer. And a new shirt. Perm. Couldn't sing but was all up for singing Liar with Freddie. Mr "you're playing the fucking twelve string". Stayed out at discos until 5am sometimes. Didn't know how to play bass till one was in his hands and went with it. Has not been seen since 1997 nor will he ever be again. And I think that's very valid of him.
