@Sofia50020Sofia If you want a massive tip then let the customer go and get the order themselves. Ultimately the employer should be paying a decent wage
John Deacon retired from music in 1997. He doesn't speak to his bandmates directly. And in June 2024 — he had his own lawyer at the table for the $1.27 billion Sony deal — the biggest music rights sale in history. Still silent. Still equal. Still there.
John Deacon retired from music in 1997.
He has not performed since. He does not speak to his bandmates directly. He communicates through management. Through accountants. Through lawyers.
And he is still worth — by most estimates — approximately $170 million.
Because John Deacon never stopped being an equal shareholder in everything Queen has ever built.
Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and the estate of Freddie Mercury are equal shareholders in Queen Productions Ltd — the company that owns and controls Queen's entire musical legacy.
Equal. All four. Permanently.
Billboard estimated Queen earns approximately $50 million annually from recorded music and publishing combined.
John Deacon's equal quarter share — arriving every year — from music he stopped making nearly three decades ago.
Then in June 2024 — the biggest music rights deal in history was announced.
Sony Music acquired Queen's catalog for $1.27 billion — the largest music rights sale ever recorded. Surpassing Bruce Springsteen's previous record of $500 million.
Sources confirmed that each band member — Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and the estate of Freddie Mercury — had their own individual lawyer involved in negotiating the deal.
John Deacon — who won't answer his bandmates' calls — had his own lawyer at the table.
For the biggest music deal in history.
His share of $1.27 billion.
Collected in the same complete silence in which he has lived his entire post-Queen life.
The man who walked away from everything in 1997 — was still there for all of it.
Quietly. Permanently. On his own terms.
That’s an interesting point of view your have now taken, one would say your Gaslighting me.
The thread turned into pure gutter nonsense fast. @caim67 hits me with “fucking pervert”, then @GaryCB1888 jumps in saying “He’s right weird cunt him. He should be kept away from children”.
Bandying child abuse around just because you disagree with my point of view on Celtic or Martin O’Neill is just grim and disturbing.
So I called it out, rightly so.
And yeah I fired back, mum jokes because I’m not gonna sit there and take that shit lying down. (Unlike your Mum😏)
But let’s be clear: the “pervert / keep away from kids” stuff crossed a line that you two started.
Now you’re both crying like wee bitches when I stand up for myself.
However I’m not surprised.

The only certainty beyond death and taxes is that a noisy section of Celtic fans will never, ever be happy.
It makes you wonder, which Celtic "fans" profit from all the noisy disharmony?

@GM1872_ What you on about. Curtis is a great player. Shankland should definitely be before the other strikers. Scotland players are Scotland players. season is done. World Cup next, get behind the country
