Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on August 19, 1951)

Happy Birthday, John Deacon! The quiet genius behind Queen's unforgettable basslines—your grooves in "Another One Bites the Dust" and catchy riffs from "Under Pressure" still have us dancing awkwardly at weddings decades later. You've proven that a bassist can indeed steal the spotlight without saying much; your silence speaks louder than Freddie Mercury’s wardrobe choices.

Though you've stepped away from public life, your legacy remains timeless. Every time someone attempts air-bass during “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” we salute you (and apologize for our lack of rhythm). Here's to another year celebrating rock royalty who made subtlety legendary!
