YES Cancels 40th Anniversary Tour=20
=20
NEW YORK, NY, JUNE 4, 2008 -- Legendary rock band YES announced today
that the group will unfortunately be canceling their 2008 40th
Anniversary Tour. The 26-city tour was scheduled to kick off in Quebec
next month and run through the summer.
=20
Said Jon Anderson, "In the wake of my recent respiratory attack, doctors
have advised me to spend the coming months resting and recovering.
Unfortunately, this means I won't be able to tour with Yes this summer
as originally planned. I'd like everyone know how deeply disappointed I
am by this turn of events. I was looking forward to celebrating our
music with the amazing family of Yes fans once again; but as we all
know, health must come before anything else. Wishing you all the very
best..."
=20
Said Chris Squire, "We were all looking forward to performing for our
fans after a prolonged leave of absence from touring. I am especially
regretful of the fact that I know many of our fans and friends have
probably laid out non-refundable airfares and hotels, etc. in order to
enjoy the Yes shows this summer. Please join me in wishing Jon a speedy
return to health, which at this point in time is our main concern."

Yes frontman and founding member Jon Anderson was admitted to the
hospital last month after suffering a severe asthma attack. He has now
been diagnosed with acute respiratory failure and was told by doctors
this weekend that he needs to rest and not work for a period of at least
six months or suffer further health complications. Upon receiving this
news the band has determined that their tour plans need to be put on
hold.

Ticket refunds will be available at the point of purchase.
