Yes Ready For US Winter Tour

Still no Jon Anderson, though...
Prog veterans Yes will return to the US in February for an 18-date run. Dates are below.
Just in case you were wondering if original singer Jon Anderson, who's been unable to tour due to health issues, will be back in the band for the occasion... Well, don't get your hopes up.
The lineup for Yes' upcoming tour will be: bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboard player Oliver Wakeman (Rick Wakeman's son) and singer Benoit David (from Montreal Yes tribute band Close to the Edge).
"I think they're doing a tremendous job," Howe told Billboard.com about Wakeman and David. "We've mapped out a period of time for (Yes) to work, so in that period of time things are going to stay as they are now with Oliver and Benoit. When things were to feel right with any other lineup, then that will happen, but at the moment this is what we're focusing on."
