Is a very sad news. Although, the replacement of Peter Banks for Steve Howe had been a "upgrade" to Yes music, nobody can deny the talent of Peter Banks, to confirm this is enough a fast review in their subsequent discography (Emperor, Flash and solo). Rest in peace great musician !!!

Please read this interview with Peter, it is very far-reaching and very interesting! He goes all the way back to his early Yes days, when he shared a flat with Bob Fripp!
Fascinating fellow, I'm sorry that he never received all the credit he was due. I highly recommend his most recent solo albums, "Instinct," "Self-Contained" and "Reduction". I particularly enjoy "Self-Contained," his guitar style approaches that of Steve Vai!
RIP, Peter, we lost one of the true pioneers when you left us.

So sad to hear of this. And, Chuck, we had just been talking about our music heros, and now this news-may his music live on!
