Has anyone heard any news on our beloved Yes musician? I've been searching viciously, and will continue doing so.

My heart goes out to Chris, and his family.

EDIT: Here is the most recent news from YesWorld.com

Due to unforeseen medical reasons, the “In The Present Tour,” featuring Yes’ Steve Howe, Chris Squire, and Alan White is cancelling shows through February 24 (San Diego).

 

The band wishes to apologize for any inconvenience that this might have caused to their fans and hopes to see them again soon.

I was actually getting ready to head up to Portland tomorrow to see them at the Aladdin and just happened to find this out.

I really hope Chris is able to make a quick and full recovery--my thoughts are with him.

It could have been worse: the two of them having health problems in the same period.No world tour, a thousand of Yes fans lost and depressed... How is Steve Howe in these days?

Well, some of them SHOULD retire (no, I will NOT tell any name). But it's true that there has been a high number of deaths among prog-rock (or even prog-related) musicians this past year.

There's so little info available making it difficult not to suspect that this is very serious. Here's hoping that this giant of Prog makes a speedy recovery.

Very worrying indeed - I was listening to Yessongs on the way to work for the first time in a long while & just marvelled at his playing.

Fingers crossed...
