John Didn’t Sing
Queen band member John Deacon opted out of the singing part of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. He actually never sang in any of Queen’s songs. John apparently suffered from depression, especially after Mercury’s death. Since then, he only performed three times. The first was at the 1992 tribute concert for Mercury.

A year later, he and Taylor played to raise funds for King Edward VII Hospital. In 1997, the surviving members of the band partnered with Elton John to perform “The Show Must Go On” at the opening of the Bejart Ballet in Paris. That same year, Deacon recorded “No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young),” and then he officially retired. He wasn’t present when the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
