A note from Rick Wakeman himself: In light of his recent announcement on his web site about his future, and the subsequent reaction it evoked, Rick wanted to clarify the situation for his fans: "In spite of numerous people telling me that according to various web-sites and sources on the internet etc, that I have left Yes, this is news to me. "It is true that I am giving up solo touring at the end of 2006 but the word SOLO was heavily emphasized in all press releases, but sadly the inability of many people to understand simple English will always produce some who say 'Rick's left because he's not touring anymore'!" Yay! ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years. Most marriages don't last that long these days." -Chris Squire |

At last he spoke!! Hey guys, quit solo touring and sit in the studio, and create the first since Tormato regular classic lineup Yes album, for heaven's sake. The More Drama Tour concept sucks!! ------------- yet you still have time! |

I thought that was rather a brave idea myself. |

Sounded like a better idea than Re-Union.

| Good old Rick. I think he should have taken over as chairman of Countdown. He could have re-recorded the music as a prog epic. |
