When Jon Anderson became ill, the band rallied around the flag in spectacular style by quickly replacing him. Replace Jon Anderson? yeah right! Now that Chris has been invalided, they've cancelled the whole tour. This proves one thing that was apparent from the start and that is that a version of Yes cannot exist without Squire or Anderson. The Gods Of DaProg were obviously watching and decided to doom this tour from the start, they now demand penatance. Talk about bad Karma!!!! I hope Chris & Jon get well soon and when they do, take my advice, come out fighting this year under a credible version of YES and give us a tour (only this time IN THE UK) and perhaps one final brilliant YES album and then retire to whichever corner of the globe they choose to reside and then dissappear into history knowing that they left us on a high note. And let's face it, No one hits a high note like Jon. Maybe Steve & Alan would like to get another Bass player to go on tour with them, until Chris get’s better, maybe they’ll choose a new guy straight from the arse end of knowhere like they did with Jon Anderson?
