Health problems are not new in Jon`s life. I recently read a recent interview (sorry, I can`t remember in which website, maybe it was in "Notes from the Edge", but I`m not sure). He said that  in YES` tours during 2004 he suffered from respiratory problems. He said that `s why YES stopped worrking as a band until this year, when his respiratory problems were improved, but now it seems that  the improvement didn`t last. Rick Wakeman also didn`t want to tour with YES for health reasons. Long tours are not good for him anymore, and in another interview he  said that he had doubts about Jon`s health for a long tour in 2008.
 
I hope Jon is going to recover soon.

We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.

Oh, no! Yes is one of the few greats who's members are all still alive and well. I truly hope Jon recovers quickly, because I want to be able to see Yes in concert at least once in my lifetime-- Wakeman or not it will be fine, he's overrated anyway, but without Anderson, it simply isn't Yes!
 
Get well soon and permenantly, Jon!

  Rather they should play shorter tours, the health of the band members is more important.

Disapprove!

I hope you get well VERY soon Mr. Anderson!

I have a close friend who suffers from Asthma very badly (He has to "think" about breathing
every second), a fellow Prog head too.

God bless Jon, take good care Approve
