John Richard Deacon (born 19 August 1951) is a retired English multi-instrumentalist, best known as the bass guitarist for the rock band Queen. Of the four members of the band, he was the last to join and also the youngest, being only 19 years old when he was recruited by the other members of the band. Deacon wrote a number of Queen's hit singles, including "You're My Best Friend", "Spread Your Wings", "Back Chat", "I Want to Break Free" and the band's biggest selling single in the United States, "Another One Bites the Dust", as well as a number of album tracks. He also played rhythm and acoustic guitars on several albums as well as occasional keyboards, synthesiser and programming. He frequently provided backing vocals during live shows.

Couple Profile
Queen was comprised of some quite colorful characters, but the group`s quiet and reserved bassist, John Deacon was an exception. Although he would often occupy the background, Deacon proved to be as talented as the others when it came to songwriting, as he penned some of the band`s biggest hits. Born on August 19, 1951 in Leicester, England, Deacon began playing the guitar during the early `60s, before joining his first band, Opposition, in 1965. The following year, Deacon switched to the bass guitar, while the group changed their name to the New Opposition (and a few years later, the Art). In late 1970, Deacon caught an early gig by Queen at a nearby College, yet left unimpressed. A few months later, Deacon was introduced to Queen`s drummer, Roger Taylor, who convinced the bassist to try out for the band, which led to his joining in January 1971. Queen signed a recording contract with EMI shortly thereafter, but it wouldn`t be until 1973 that they would release their self-titled debut (on which the bassist is listed as Deacon John). It would take Deacon a few releases before he began to contribute songs to the group, but the wait was worth it, as he subsequently wrote (or co-penned) such Queen classics as "Stone Cold Crazy," "You`re My Best Friend" (a worldwide hit), and "Spread Your Wings." Deacon`s crowning songwriting achievement would come on Queen`s 1980 release, The Game, an album which saw the band experiment with a variety of musical styles and sounds (the first release that synthesizers were permitted to be used).
