Nimoy was the one that broke my heart. Obviously never met him or knew him but still felt ..well as if one did.
We love the art, but it's impossible to separate that from the artist (as Yeats asked, How can we know the dancer from the dance?). Their art touches us so their lives touch upon ours, and hence the sadness when we hear news like this.

I think can take this as the death knell for Yes (beyond commitments already made) whether Chris recovers or not (unless Jon and Rick rejoin.)

Agree 100%---if this isn't the death knell--sherwood surely is.
I think it's somewhat out of place to be talking about possible replacements (or the impossibility of it) for Squire at this point.
not happy about the use of the term "death knell." Speculation of this sort belongs elsewhere - let's use this thread as an opportunity to wish the man well and hope for his speedy recovery.

i already wished the man well several times and hopes he takes care of himself and forgets Yes for the time being---so he can recover from this completely---from what I have read about this disease this is a serious thing that will take time to recover from. Great Yes is like a religious experience for me----and I have several albums I can always be moved by--mediocre Yes and mediocre players in Yes do not interest me---and have not for some time. But this is about my taste in music and my expectations for Yes music.

This is true - let's not jump the gun here, Chris may well pull through this, as we all hope and pray he does. In order for Yes to fulfil their touring obligations, there's no need to hate on Sherwood - he's quite a competent bassist/musician - FOR THE TIME BEING.
