My day was just made. Queen played at the Oscars

[tymorial]

7. The Red Special :)

Maybe you know but it was made by Brian and his father. The neck came from wood from their fireplace mantel. May's sound also comes from the fact he uses a 1940s sixpence as his pick.

So as for Deacon, he stopped performing after Freddy died. He just didn't want to perform without him. I think he only played with Queen twice after Freddy passed, The Concer for Life being one of them. I cant remember the other.

I remember watching an interview with May and he said that Deacon is involved with the business side of Queen and has given his blessing on the various tours and albums. They arent very close anymore but I guess Deacon was always very private and very quiet. I think he suffered from depression as well if I recall and Mercury's death hit him hard. I do not begrudge him whatsoever. The fact that he is still involved in the background as minor as that may be and the fact that he greenlit the movie.. he is clearly not a bitter man
