Those of you who when I blogged on the Yes tour said "oh God no" have had their wishes granted.A couple of weeks ago lead singer Jon Anderson had a severe asthma attack and as a result has been told not to work for 6 months One cancelled tour later, personally I think the show could be over, at least for big coast to coast tours.
When the tour was announced Rick Wakeman, keyboard virtuoso and "grumpy old man" declined the offer to join the tour as he didn't want to risk the pressure he would put his body under. He also cited Jon's health issues on the last tour and suggested that he shouldn't be undertaking such a gruelling schedule. Looks like he was right. It's difficult to see how they could now commit to the length of tour they had planned and if they tried whether they would get insurance?
Meanwhile I wish Mr Anderson a speedy return to fitness and who knows maybe small tours with all of them on board might be the outcome of this set back.
