John Richard Deacon 

(Born August 19th, 1951)

 is an English 

retired musician 

who was the

 bass guitarist

 for the rock band

Queen

He wrote several songs

 for the group, 

including Top 10 hits

 "You're My Best Friend", 

"Another One Bites the Dust" 

and

 "I Want to Break Free";

 and co-wrote

 "Under Pressure", 

"Friends Will Be Friends"

 and 

"One Vision".

Deacon grew up in 

Oadby, Leicestershire, 

playing bass guitar

 in a local band, 

The Opposition, 

before moving to London

 to study electronics at

Chelsea College. 

He joined Queen

 in 1971 

on the strength of his

 musical and electronic skills, 

particularly the homemade

Deacy Amp

that guitarist 

Brian May used to 

create guitar orchestras

 throughout 

Queen's career. 

From the third album, 

Sheer Heart Attack, 

onwards, 

he wrote at least one song

 per album,

 several of which became hits. 

In addition to

 bass guitar, 

Deacon played guitar, 

keyboards, 

and piano

on Queen's s

tudio work.

After the death 

of lead singer

Freddie Mercury

in 1991

 and the following year's 

Tribute Concert, 

Deacon performed 

only sporadically with 

the remaining members 

of Queen 

before retiring

 from the music industry

 in 1997 

after recording 

"No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)".

 He has not performed 

on any of the other projects

 that the two 

remaining members,

Brian May and Roger Taylor, 

have put together. 

He remains involved 

in the financial aspects

 of the band.

Deacon was inducted into

 the Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame

as a member of 

Queen in 2001 

and into the 

Songwriters 

Hall of Fame 

in 2003.
