As ever, a fantastic post, Micky. That would surely be far more suitable than them continuing as a sort of vaudeville tribute act.

RIP.

One of the true masters.

Without the likes of him, a site like this would look much, much different.

Such an innovative, powerful performer, and, lest we forget, an astonishing harmonist.

Have to say that his solo album has long been of deep value to me. The CD carousel has already been filled, and will be filled, with Yes today, but Fish's album will get a few spins as well.

Hope he finds peace in the Universal Garden.

If you go to Jonanderson.com, there is a wonderful tribute to Chris from Jon.

I, for one, am glad that they were able to reconnect before Squire passed on.

Agreed. That is lovely to read. Such a tortured relationship in recent years, so it's wonderful to hear that there was some reparation near the end.

RIP to a great among greats. One of the biggest prog heroes to pass away along with Zappa.

Really sad... Ouch

... A legend passed away. R.I.P.

What a shame. One of the true masters and leaders of progressive rock and his signature bass sounds will echo throughout the future.

RIP to one of the greats.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Agree 100% the worse thing they could do is carry on....they should call a day--your idea of ABWH is amazing with Levin--that would be a dream come true--or even Howe or ANderson touring randomly with a great prog band---which they have both done--just don't call it Yes.

first Jack Bruce, noe Chris Squire, two of my favourite bass players rip Chris (name brother)
