JON ANDERSON HAD IT WITH " YES, " & WILL NEVER REUNITE: MY OPINION ABOUT THIS PRESS RELEASE!!!!!!!

Portrait By Hamy Bru

    This is unbelievable.  In the latest interview, conducted by PAUL CASHMERE of NOISE 11, YES bassist CHRIS SQUIRE told the MOST OUTRAGEOUS LIE EVER.  

     HERE'S A SAMPLE FROM THE ARTICLE, FROM NOISE 11:  

     Chris says he is still friends with Jon Anderson and in regular communication. “We email each other. We have a cordial relationship,” he says. “He is out there at the moment doing some solo shows. He is a lot healthier now than he was a few years ago when he was suffering from his breathing problems. "

     " He is getting back into it. I have never closed the door on working with Jon again. He has left the band before and come back and left it again and come back. It is an unusual situation. We will work together in the future but right now we are promoting the ' Fly From Here, ' album, which is our first studio album in 10 years ”.

     WAIT!!  HERE'S THE OFFICIAL JON ANDERSON STATEMENT:     

     A Statement To The Press By Original YES Vocalist / Songwriter Jon Anderson 

     2/8/2012 - Asheville, NC - In response to recent rumors circulating about music legend and original YES vocalist / songwriter Jon Anderson being asked to re-join YES - these rumors are unfounded and false. Jon Anderson is busy with his solo career; he is currently on tour performing solo, as well as recording new music.

     Jon also had this response to recent quotes in the news by Chris Squire that he is in regular communication with Jon: "I haven't spoken with Chris in four years, and the only e-mail I have received from him in the last 3 years was him asking for free tickets to my show in Mesa, AZ last week - very sad, but true." 

     Jon Anderson, who has one of the most recognizable voices in music, and is best known for his work with YES, Vangelis and Kitaro, as well as his innovative solo efforts, recently completed a successful tour of the east coast in the US with fellow YES member Rick Wakeman and a solo tour of South America.

     Jon's solo tour promises to deliver an exciting mixture of material from his prolific solo career, collaborations with Vangelis and classic YES songs, along with new compositions from his new CD 'Survival & Other Stories'.

     Who knows?  If JON ANDERSON decides to reunite with YES someday, it will be a few years later.  Right now, HE HAS NO INTENTIONS TO REUNITE WITH THE BAND AT THIS TIME!!!!!!
