YES Tour Summer 2008, possible album!
3^rd Mar, 2008 at 3:08am

It appears Yes is getting back together this summer for a 2008 tour and negotiations for a new album!

Its' really good to see all these guys ie. Asia, ELP, and Yes all get along and do projects together without any further animosity (touch wood)

Doesn't look like Wakeman Sr. will attend but Wakeman Jr looks like will be taking the keys.

Cheers

Dave

Nothing appears to be written in stone - yet. I'm sure more (qualified) news will follow soon enough.

Reply #7 - 8^th Mar, 2008 at 6:45pm BTW, when Chris was asked on 29 February about the tour, he replied that he knew nothing about it. So perhaps not everything is 100% official with the tour just yet. Of course, quite a lot can change in the course of a week ...

YES CANCELS 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Here is the press release regarding the tour cancellation:

NEW YORK, NY, JUNE 4, 2008 -
Legendary rock band Yes announced today
that the group will unfortunately be canceling their 2008 40th
Anniversary Tour. The 26-city tour was scheduled to kick off in
Quebec next month and run through the summer.

Said Jon Anderson,
In the wake of my recent respiratory attack,
doctors have advised me to spend the coming months resting and
recovering. Unfortunately, this means I won't be able to tour with
Yes this summer as originally planned. I'd like everyone know how
deeply disappointed I am by this turn of events. I was looking
forward to celebrating our music with the amazing family of Yes fans
once again; but as we all know, health must come before anything
else. Wishing you all the very best...

Said Chris Squire,
We were all looking forward to performing for our
fans after a prolonged leave of absence from touring. I am especially
regretful of the fact that I know many of our fans and friends have
probably laid out non-refundable airfares and hotels, etc. in order
to enjoy the Yes shows this summer. Please join me in wishing Jon a
speedy return to health, which at this point in time is our main
concern.

Yes frontman and founding member Jon Anderson was admitted to the
hospital last month after suffering a severe asthma attack. He has
now been diagnosed with acute respiratory failure and was told by
doctors this weekend that he needs to rest and not work for a period
of at least six months or suffer further health complications. Upon
receiving this news the band has determined that their tour plans
need to be put on hold.

Ticket refunds will be available at the point of purchase.

Reply #13 - 5^th Jun, 2008 at 4:05pm Very disappointing; yet somehow, I knew it wouldn't work out. On the bright side, those of us in the Boston area are planning a huge party the weekend that Yes was to play here. You're all invited!
