* "When I was five years old my hero was John Deacon, who used to do the most incredible upper-register work and those melodic, tight groove parts." – Richie Edwards.

* "Grossly underrated. His बास parts are like little stories, yet he never gets in anyone's way. With all the guitars and vocals going on, he finds the spaces and plays basically what he wants. He's loose, fluid, and quite busy at times, but I can't find one song where he stepped on the vocal या गिटार parts." – Danny Miranda

I was a great प्रशंसक of क्वीन from the early years but it has such कड़वा sweet memories for me. I was born in 1967 and went to a beautiful Primary School in SW London. I had no idea who क्वीन were या what they were to become.
All that I knew was that my first teacher, Miss Tetzlaff was leaving to get married. As a young child, I was devastated but sadly accepted that.
Many years went द्वारा and I got और and और into संगीत and it was no surprise for me that I loved Queen’s edgy Rock sound. However there is not a दिन that I missed the lady that first taught me. I wish Roger and Mrs Deacon, neeTetzlaff, and their family all the best in the world now and in the future.
