After playing live with Queen twice more (at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert for AIDS Awareness on 20 April 1992, and in Paris on 17 January 1997, performing only "the show must go on" with Elton John on lead vocals), he made the decision to retire from music, re-appearing only briefly by joining his ex-band mates in October 1997 for the recording of the final Queen song "no one but you- only the good die young", included in the queen rocks album released a month later. He chose not to be present at Queen's induction into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2001, or join in the collaboration with paul rodgers. On the queen + paul rodgers collaboration album the cosmos rocks, which featured new material from the trio, Deacon was listed in the Thanks Notes on the CD.
