Let John Alone!

I was looking through my News Feed earlier in the week and I was pretty dumbfounded by what I saw. There was at least 5 Queen fan sites sharing what seemed to be a recent photo of the estranged bass player John Deacon out and about in London, allegedly. He had changed A LOT, but everyone ages with time. Lots of Queen fans were wondering if he was still alive and now they had got the proof that they needed! After 18 years of disappearance from the public eye he had been spotted, and very much and alive and well.

However, I was going to post this photo but then I had a change of heart. It looked like the photo was taken for a tabloid newspaper, who always post pure garbage. He looked very annoyed, and aware he was being watched. It's almost like harassment in a way, and stalking. Also, it's a pure invasion of privacy, and violation of his human rights. People should bear in mind he left Queen because he had enough, and probably thought the band wasn't going to be the same without Freddie. He wanted to retire and live his life in peace. But now this picture, posted on Twitter with the tag #BreakTheInternetForRealThisTime, has caused an uproar. Half say it should be taken down and just to leave the poor guy alone, and the other half say that it's good to see him alive and well, but I guarantee you he won't coming back any time soon.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone Brian May and Roger Taylor stated that communication with John was very rare and he has almost 'no social contact' with them, but he does handle the financial affairs.

So to conclude, I say we should let John live in peace. His privacy should be respected and the photo should be taken down. However, I could also argue that Queen fans are rejoicing at seeing a brand new photo of the former bassist, and it can cause excitement. But in the end, it looks like someone was stalking him for a reaction, and he/she got their reaction. But they wouldn't like it if they were being stalked, would they?

Brian is cancer free. Thank god.

Hi people

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a very long time, I completely forgot about this blog. There's some good news though, I'd like to share with you, although you might have already heard about this. As most Queen fans were aware at the end of last year Brian underwent tests for cancer, but recently he got the results back saying everything was clear! Hurrah!

We lost a lot of famous people to the terrible disease and other things last year. We can't afford to lose anymore. I hope he will be happy and healthy for many golden years to come. 

I hope you enjoy this photo.

Bri's Knee Operation

Hi peeps!

As we all know, Bri has had knee troubles for quite a long time now, and earlier this month he tweeted that he was going into hospital in order to have a replacement. Most of you are probably thinking that "Hey, he's only 66! Why would a big strong man like Brian May want a knee replacement". Apparently, he has spoken to consultants about his discomfort and has gone ahead with the operation. He tweeted at 6:30am on Tuesday, 6th August that he would be going down into the operating theatre at 1:30 in the afternoon. I tweeted him: "@DrBrianMay Best of luck, x". In the evening, it got favourited. Just comes to show he cares about his fans. 

Apparently the knee replacement was a success and he is making good progress, but above all, pain free. Hope to see him up and about soon! 

I'll leave you with this photo of him from 1984's I Want to Break Free. He doesn't look amused one bit! But it's just a video!

Talk soon,

Megan

A poem by me against racism

Hello audience!

Sorry I haven't been on in ages, but I've just been far too busy with all this exam prep and homework teachers regularly lob at you. An anti racism charity came in earlier this week and encouraged us to write poems. Here's mine. I hope you like it. If you do, please comment!


God said we were equally created, it makes me so frustrated!
Why should people fight for the color of their skin?
If only they could see what they’re like within!
Now I’m not like Elton John or Billy Bragg,
This Racism, is taking the mick out of our flag!
Quick snap! Quick crack, please end this complication!
Black and white could again unite, one big reformation.

Love Music. Hate Racism

26/01/14 UPDATE

It's been almost a year since I came up with the idea for the poem, and in September last year, in one of the school assemblies, I won 1st prize for it. 1st prize, yeah! I only got a tshirt for it, that was too big, but I don't really mind. What counts is the fact that I took part.

Roger Taylor Roger Taylor!

Hello my dears! Today I thought, to celebrate the reformation of this blog, I thought I'd post a few intimate pictures of Queen's drummer Roger Meddows Taylor. Enjoy!

Love, Megan xx

I Welcome Myself Back!

Hello once again audience! And when I left off officially last year, I was wishing Brian the best of luck following a knee operation. So, all that's left for me to say is Happy New Year! I promise to post more this year, than I did last! And Merry Deakmas! (see the gimmick below)

Love,

Megan Rhodes (Kemp) xx
