"In the Present" Tour Announced
Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White will launch the "In The Present" tour starting November 4th in Hamilton, Ontario, marking yet another chapter in their 40-year career. The three will be joined by keyboardist (and Rick's son) Oliver Wakeman and vocalist Benoit David, a Montreal, Quebec, native and vocalist in several Yes tribute groups, who was discovered by the band on the Internet.
And here's a message from Jon Anderson:
"Not Yes"
September 18, 2008
Disappointed, and very Disrespected
Disappointed that, with the exception of one phone call from Alan, none of the guys have been in touch since my illness, just to find out how I am doing, and how we will foresee the future for YES. And disappointed that they were not willing to wait till 2009 when I'm fully recovered.
And I feel very disrespected, having spent most of this year creating songs and constant ideas for the band, spending time with Roger Dean creating a stage design, also working with VH1 and Sirius and XM Radio to help promote the welfare of YES.
Getting sick was not "on my radar", and I thank my own angel Janeee and my family for helping me through this difficult time, and the many well wishers, friends and fans alike, for understanding that ''things happen''.
Of course I wish the guys all the best in their 'solo' work, but I just wish this could have been done in a more gentlemanly fashion. After all YES is a precious musical band.
This is not YES on tour...
I send best wishes to one and all,
Jon Anderson
