Friends Indeed: A Story Of Freddie Mercury And John Deacon

#FreddieMercury #JohnDeacon #Queen #FreddieAndDeaky
Yes, they were very tight. Freddie was John's closest and perhaps only friend in the band. Freddie was the oldest member of Queen while John was the baby of the band. Freddie was always very protective and encouraging of John.

Peter Freestone wrote that Freddie had the utmost respect for John and loved John’s songs. They made a number of collaborations with just the two of them, with Freddie providing all the vocals and John sometimes offering all of the instrumentals. One of their songs is even titled “Friends will be Friends”. Freestone is quoted as saying “….but what I think a lot of people don’t realize is how hard Freddie’s death hit John” when asked why John was not with Queen’s remaining members during a 2005 tour.

Freddie also did not tolerate any show of emotion from guests while he was ill, as he did not want to upset the people he cared about. I’m sure John not visiting was probably due to not being able to control his emotion, during the tribute concert he looked to be on the brink of tears. With all this information, I now believe the two had the closest friendship in the band. Very different from what I saw in the movie!

I always love that when Freddie was on the piano, John would be right behind him.

John Deacon is an underrated bass player. He’s not one of those flashy, million notes per second players, but his basslines were tasteful, in-the-pocket grooves which were always perfect for the song, with just a TOUCH of something extra.

There will never be another Freddie Mercury ~ John Deacon

[xilefregnu]

I read in an interview that when John was asked which member did he feel most comfortable writing with, John responded, "Freddie is the only one I have written with".

True mutual love, loyalty and respect! Something to aspire to...

John once said
..there is no more queen without Freddy

[lhart]

John is a total introvert, but behind the scenes, he was just as vocal as the rest of the band. Deacy was an instrumental part of the band. Without him, Queen just wouldn't be Queen. His song contributions alone were epic!

Without Freddie and John there is no Queen.

I think it’s so sad that John never seemed to get out of his depression after Freddie’s death. It’s a very hard way to live.

I liked that Freddie was their for John, and got him to join the band.

John is like Freddie's little brother, Freddie convince john to write songs, help john to come out from his shell and "Spread his wings", they're good "Best friends" and they will "friends will be friends" right till the end .
So touching 🤧 i hope john is doing good these days

[theanygamer]

I get an incredibly humble Vibe from John

[carmemdejesus]

Love them both!!!! For me, without Freddie & John there is no Queen!!!

[dominewimbury]

You got to remember that the Freddie you saw on the stage WASN'T the real one. Freddie was as shy as John

[chrysopoylosgiorgos]

John Deacon is one of the best bass player in the world...

[susanengland]

John was one of the best bass guitar players in the business, he was perfect for Queen.

[carlgroves]

"Whenever this world is cruel to me I've got you to help me forgive" John himself says it all.

[ermahamilton]

John was such an integral part of Queen... legends forever👨‍🎤
