Just an amazing drummer. I first saw him live on the Relayer tour, and have always loved his performances. He was really struggling when Yes did the Drama-Topo tour, but he was always a Starship Trooper. Always a smile on his face-he just loved being with his bandmates. I’m as teary eyed as when we lost Chris in ‘15.

Another great drummer of the classic prog era left us. He is responsible for some of the best pages of Yes.
RIP hard. |

He took over from one of the best drummers in prog and I actually think his more rocky style suited Yes better in the path they chose.
He will be very sadly missed. RIP.

Very sad, stunning news. A solid force behind the drums. Was listening to his snappy performance on Magnification's Can You Imagine just last night.

So sad to learn this morning that Alan White has passed away. My condolences to his family. I was lucky enough to see him perform live 26 times over the years. He will be missed for sure, but he's jammin' with Chris Squire now.

Another legend...I'm really growing old, I think it's in the nature of the things. I've seen him live with yes at least three times. Also together with Bruford in the Onion tour.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Listening to the first disc of the PROGENY box set while I type this and Alan's drumming is amazing. Can't believe he only had such a short time to learn such complicated material before the tour! What an incredible talent!
R.I.P. to another prog legend.

Three days to learn Yes material before the tour started? Crikey! Fantastic drummer.

Great drummer , was only listening to Catherine Parr yesterday and enjoying his hard hitting style although with real chops to back it up. Silent Wings of Freedom is another favourite. RIP Alan.

Spinning Tales tonight, his first (studio) album with the band. A top 5 Yes record for me.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
