John Deacon is a British musician best known as the bass player of the legendary rock band Queen, alongside Freddie Mercury, Brian May, and Roger Taylor. Born in 1951 in Leicestershire, he began playing bass as a teenager with a local group called The Opposition. In 1971, he joined Queen, where his steady playing and quiet presence became an important part of the band’s identity. Often described as the most reserved member of the group, Deacon also had a talent for innovation, famously creating the “Deacy Amp,” which became a signature tool for Brian May’s guitar sound.
Beyond his work on bass, Deacon proved himself as a gifted songwriter. He penned some of Queen’s biggest hits, including Another One Bites the Dust, You’re My Best Friend, I Want to Break Free, and Spread Your Wings. His contributions extended further, as he occasionally played piano, rhythm guitar, and provided backing vocals. He also performed bass on Freddie Mercury’s solo recording How Can I Go On.
After Freddie’s death in 1991, John Deacon appeared only a handful of times with Queen, and in 1997 he retired from music following the release of No One But You. Today, he lives a very private life with his wife, with whom he shares six children.
