Googling his condition provides much information, but at his age and him being a long time smoker really
puts the odds against him. Depending on other elements specific to his physiology will make his odds even worse or perhaps better. Unfortunately he has a very serious cancer.

I am a cancer survivor myself and I take every day as a blessing.  Life is indeed short, be happy. That is a reality for me, not just a clever slogan.

Personally YES are my church since I fell in love with them in 1975.  I knew even back then that all things pass and one day there would be no touring YES band.  This is why I have never been critical of any YES line-up. If you don't care for a particular YES grouping then don't go.  But surely all will agree that the worse possible condition is no possible YES groupings.

I  dream & hope that Chris can beat this thing but with odds like a median expectancy of 8 months, it underscores the seriousness.

For me, I will enjoy any YES as long as it has Howe & Squire, so this is pretty much my worst nightmare.

Maybe fortune will provide for one more chance for Chris & Steve & Jon & Alan to play again.

I will put my faith there.


"Yeah, people are unhappy about that - but you know what, it's still Yes." - Chris Squire

Hope he puts Yes to bed at this point. I had checked out in many ways anyway and just don't need the band watered down any more than it is---I hope Chris takes care of himself. Yes like Floyd had a long run but all things must pass.

When I read this in the news this morning, I had the sinking feeling that I may have seen Chris play with Yes for the last time.
 
It's not given to us, of course, to stay young and healthy forever.  We age, we get sick, we die, all of us.  But I like to think that great art, as Yes music surely is, is a way for eternity to peek into time and let us know that there is so much more beyond the horizon of our limited sight.
 
If you follow a musical hero for many years, they become like a treasured friend, even if you have never spoken face to face, you have listened, taken in what they have to say. 
 
So, while there is so little we can do, we can give Chris our love, as he has given us so much in his long, illustrious career.

Excellent advice. The thing that's so f'd up about cancer is that many forms are unrelated to poor health choices and have nothing to do with how good you do or don't take care of yourself.  My 51 yr old gym-rat sister-in-law went in for a routine colonoscopy a few years ago and it had already spread to several major organs...she was dead in 6 months.  Late 2014 I felt a strange tightness in my throat...had it checked out right away...thyroid cancer.  Now, post surgery and radioactive iodine treatment everything's cool, but it just goes to show how you never know when your time will be up so live each day as if it's your last...because it very well could be Wink

Hoping for a fast and painless recovery.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I doubt if Chris will ever play (defiantly not tour) with Yes again.

Time to say "Thanks for the memories!"

Normally I try not to get too emotionally invested in people I don't actually know, but my heart just broke a little.

A encouraging lesson by cancer survivors here. Of course the promised google disorder/illness detectors would be very welcome !

Let's trust Billy Sherwood, although for sure what I find great in Yes owes very much to Chris, it shows on his solo album (which is my favorite, as it's like saying one of the best Yes albums vs solo albums).

And, I'd be surprized to learn that Chris has ever been so bad a man that people would develop a harsh illness because of him !!

Nimoy was the one that broke my heart. Obviously never met him or knew him but still felt ..well as if one did.


Still ..sad news...  hopefully he can fight through it and get back out there and do what he, and his fans, love seeing him do.

For me, it was Richard Wright. The news just came out of the blue back then, and it was rather disturbing    Still, wishing all the luck possible to Squire right now.

I'm so sad about Squire's health, but, I pray for your recuperation. 
Chris I hope you can return as soon as possible. 
You are essential for mine ( and certainly for many others)  musical delirious  moments. 
One embrace great musician !
