Queen trivia about John Deacon

[4GS]

Hi guys, hope you can help
Any truth in this:
When Queen were making 'One Vision' Freddie, Roger Taylor and Brian May came back from a break to find that John Deacon had got bored and left a note saying "gone to Bali, see you in two weeks" so one of the others added the lyric (whih was later removed) 'One turd for John Deacon"?

Pretty unlikely.

You don;t get to the top of the tree and stay there for as long as Queen did without being totally professional - and Queen were never anything less than that.

I suspect this is a joke, either made up, or embelished - as most of these stories tend to be.

Next week, Freddie has two ribs removed for reasons i can't discuss on a family site like this.

If you want to know - mail me at [email protected].

Hi andy
The Bali part is a true story, it was on a Queen documentary a few years ago, I cant remember which song they were recording at the time, and I am informed that the words "one turd for John Deacon" were suggested as a joke lyric but never recorded.
I've already got your email (I was johnlambert till someone messed around with it.

where would that lyric have fitted in?


btw - loved Queen - great song too. Thanks for the link, I'd forgotten how great they were as i haven't played them in ages.

Steady on - The Beatles are still about - musically at least!

I think I can work out the rib removal thing, andy... lol.

I will say that John Deacon has wicked hair ~ why everyone picked on Brian May for his curly locks when there was the frizzball on the other side of the stage, I don't know ;o)

I listened to a Beatles CD the other day and was quite moved...they were awesome.
