Yes this 14-year old boy would grow up to be none other than Queen bassist John Deacon, author of several of the band's biggest hits, including 'You're My Best Friend' and 'Another One Bites the Dust.'
Since the death of singer Freddie Mercury in 1991, Deacon has retired from music performance, appearing with the other members of Queen only at a handful of benefit appearances, most famously the all-star 1992 tribute concert to Mercury.
