Just posted on Yes' official FB page:
YES BASSIST AND CO-FOUNDING MEMBER CHRIS SQUIRE TO UNDERGO TREATMENT FOR LEUKEMIA Grammy Award-winning bass guitarist, vocalist, and founding member of YES, Chris Squire, has been diagnosed with Acute Erythroid Leukemia (AEL), an uncommon form of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Chris will be receiving treatment in his hometown of Phoenix over the next few months. YES will be honouring their commitment to their North American summer tour with Toto, as well as confirming their performances on Cruise to the Edge in November. Chris's role in the band will be covered by YES alumnus Billy Sherwood. To quote Chris: "This will be the first time since the band formed in 1968 that YES will have performed live without me. But the other guys and myself have agreed that Billy Sherwood will do an excellent job of covering my parts and the show as a whole will deliver the same YES experience that our fans have come to expect over the years." ****** Best of luck, Mr Squire. |

Yes should continue on without him and continue finding replacements that sound like a knock off for the next decade.
On a serious note: Hope the man stays strong. Edited by Horizons - May 19 2015 at 11:21 |

Very sad news. Chris Squire is as relevant to me as any of the Beatles. More so, perhaps.
More candles to burn as of late, but I still keep the faith that Chris will have a complete recovery.

Shame to read...especially the seriousness of the illness.
Yes without Squire seems wrong. Hopefully it won't be for long. |

Mission accomplished, Yes will continue to meet touring obligations with Billy Sherwood filling in for Chris Squire. Seriously, I hope he feels better, and I hope he and Jon Anderson reach some level of understanding.

Oh dear
![]() This is the news I've been dreading...... Hope you pull through fine, Master Squire. The world will be a lesser place without your musical touch. No doubt Billy S will do a great job to keep the wheels turning........come what may....... (Blame it on the folks who rated Heaven And Earth with less than 3 stars ![]() |

Well, Tony Iommi has been winning a tough fight against lymphoma for 3 years now, Bruce Dickenson just beat throat cancer, and I spent the past 6 months zapping thyroid cancer to oblivion so there's lot's of reasons to hope Chris can join the club

We live in an age of medical miracles, and such conditions are treatable. Examine the potential causes of it, Chris! My wife was diagnosed with lymphoma-leukemia a few years ago. Fortunately, it was caught in such an early stage that treatment was not yet advised. She determined that the cause was stress from a promotion she accepted at work, a job she never enjoyed doing. The diagnosis made her realize the small increase in income was not worth it. Her expanded lymph nodes are now down to normal. Seek whatever treatment is recommended, but do not forget that nothing exists in a vacuum. Survivors abound. Please, Chris, be one of them!
