Let's hope JA gets well soon and back where he belongs. Sadly the boys are not getting any younger so full on touring ( unless you are a Rolling Stone  ) can be an enormous task/ask especially if ill health kicks in.
Get well soon ' Olias'

Wow...that's a real bummer. I hadn't kept abreast of Yes news in the past several months, but I was starting to get curious if they would be touring this year. Let's hope we haven't seen the last of them!

I was just getting ready to buy tickets to the Jones Beach show. I saw them there several years ago, and I really wanted ONE more chance to see my heros.
This really bums me out and I'm so worried about Jon. I want him to be healthy and happy and performing music in front of loving fans.
Can this really be true?

I think this is the end for Yes. An era has passed by.

Sorry, but I call shenanigans. Only ONE source for this, and it's been over 15 hours since it was posted, with no other mention online through searches on multiple search aggregators. Don't believe everything you read.
It's just a rumor until/unless confirmed officially.

Jon should come back home to the UK and move to the countryside.
Its obviously the U.S. pollution that is affecting him

I would take everything with a pinch of salt at the moment, some folk tend to spread rumours which are totally invalid until it is official.
As yesworld.com has not mentioned anything, and the only thing on any of the websites is from some woman in some far away land I would not worry too much yet.
The gigs dont kick off until July ya know.
