John Deacon, born in Leicester, England, gained prominence as the bassist for the legendary rock band Queen. His musical journey began at the age of 14 when he joined the band “The Opposition.” After learning the bass guitar, he remained with the band for four years before pursuing his higher education.

Deacon’s academic achievements include obtaining a First Class Honours degree in Electronics in 1971 from Chelsea College in London. He later joined Queen and became an integral part of the band’s success. His songwriting contributions include notable hits like “Another One Bites the Dust” and “One Vision.”

Following the tragic loss of Queen’s lead singer, Freddie Mercury, Deacon’s musical appearances became sporadic. His last recorded work was the song “No One but You (Only the Good Die Young)” in 1997, after which he retired from the music industry.
