Yes have announced that they are going to tour. http://www.yesworld.com/ywtour-REVISED.html

Thanks much Clothears!!! But sadly, no Jon. http://jonanderson.com/news.html But I am HAPPY to read that although his healing is long, he is getting better. I wonder if they will play Denver.

I have to admit to being underwhelmed by yet another cynical attempt to screw their fans for more money. In my opinion they should have toured more during their prime rather than resting on their laurels counting the cash. Now they need us, do we need them?

Yes without Jon. The only good thing is reading he's feeling better. We already lost a major artist yesterday with Richard Wright. It's enough.

Correct Ste - I am just not sure this is the right thing for the band - though I am not in the band and I am sure by the profile of its members that Jon was asked about it. And YES Jon is getting better and with the death of Richard again I hope all see the love that was always there. 2 cents Pablo

Maybe I'm a cynic, but it sure sounds like a money grab? "Honoring" 40 years of YES by touring without Jon?

Then don't go.

Have to admit it won't be the same without Jon and as I saw them when they had Trevor Horn on vocals(Jeez that was a dreadful concert) don't think I'll bother with this one myself.

So thats a No for Yes then?? :-] :-]

Thursday, September 18, 2008 "Not Yes" September 18, 2008 Disappointed, and very Disrespected Disappointed that, with the exception of one phone call from Alan, none of the guys have been in touch since my illness, just to find out how I am doing, and how we will foresee the future for YES. And disappointed that they were not willing to wait till 2009 when I'm fully recovered. And I feel very disrespected, having spent most of this year creating songs and constant ideas for the band, spending time with Roger Dean creating a stage design, also working with VH1 and Sirius and XM Radio to help promote the welfare of YES. Getting sick was not "on my radar", and I thank my own angel Janeee and my family for helping me through this difficult time, and the many well wishers, friends and fans alike, for understanding that ''things happen''. Of course I wish the guys all the best in their 'solo' work, but I just wish this could have been done in a more gentlemanly fashion. After all YES is a precious musical band. This is not YES on tour. I send best wishes to one and all, Jon Anderson

what a shame that Jon has been dissed. wonder what gives, not even phone calls? hmmmm. don't think i'll catch them in denver if they stop in for a night. i saw the YES 35 tour. Blew my mind and oh the tears. Especially to hear Sweet Dreams Too many years gone by. well, that sucks anyway. sorry Jon. everyone must get introspective here.
