Brian talks about John
Thanks Ana for the following receent interview of Brian.
How often does he speak to the other two? John Deacon, Queen's bass player, has not performed with Queen since 1997. "I speak to Roger [Taylor, the drummer] a lot. But I don't speak to John because he doesn't want to, which is sad, but it's the way he wants it. He prefers to be isolated from it, and that's his choice. I respect it." Have they fallen out? "No, we never completely... We got strained at the time, but..." Oh well. There are other ways to communicate than by speaking. On Thursday 19 August, May posted a message on his blog that read: "Happy birthday Deacy! Bri."
