Via: El Pais
Some days ago someone saw him. He wore a blue sweater with knitted wool and corduroy trousers. Bald, with gray hair on the sides and in the front. He smoked a cigarette hastily. A man of 67 years, taciturn, discreet, walking near his house, in the quiet Greenwich Park in south-east London. A few feet away, people were going in droves to see the highest-grossing movie of the moment, Bohemian Rhapsody. He is one of the protagonists, but has long been away from the spotlight, more than 20 years. He doesn’t want to know anything. His name is John Deacon.

Biography
John is probably the least known member of Queen. He rarely does interviews, is never really in the news, and when on stage, got on with playing the bass whilst the others were the showmen. In fact this is much the reason why John was picked to be the band's fourth and final member of the band. Queen had been through many bass players, but none had worked out. Roger, Freddie and Brian were fairly outgoing on stage, and they felt "because [John] was quiet he would fit in with us without too much upheaval", according to Roger.
His interest in music began at an early age. By seven, he had a red plastic Tommy Steele special. He was pretty adept at electronics, and modified an old reel-to-reel tape recorder to record music off the radio - preferably the Beatles. By the age of eleven, he bought a cheap acoustic guitar and learned to play it, and was soon playing with friends. By the age of fourteen he was in his first band - The Opposition, and played (a borrowed) rhythm guitar. They tended to play pop, soul and motown material. In December they played their first major gig, and were paid all of two pounds. By Apr
