40th Anniversary Tour Cancelled: Press Release

As reported on YesWorld today:

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 to 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.

May 2008 Update

Yes fans,

Just a quick update regarding this site. It was originally created by a well-intentioned Yes fan who didn't have permission from Yes or YesWorld to do so. When I learned of this site I requested that it be handed over to YesWorld, and that fan graciously did so.

As the genie is out of the bottle we're going to retain this as the official Yes MySpace. This site will be going through a redesign (to be in sync with the current YesWorld redesign) so watch for changes to come soon. There are literally thousands of Friend requests that have accumulated in the past few months, so if you sent a request and haven't received approval please be patient, it will be coming soon.

Please also note that in order to avoid redundancy of information any new Yes news will appear at YesWorld and not be replicated here. MySpace is the place for Yes fans to congregate, and YesWorld is the place to get the latest news about the band. We are believers in not duplicating data as that incurs a high maintenance overhead and opens the door for these two sites to be out of sync.

Thanks, and watch for more updates here soon.
