Yes sin Anderson ?

Un amigo me comentó la noticia de que Yes comenzaba a girar a fin de año... sin Jon Anderson, y no lo pude creer. Yes de gira sin el líder y compositor!? Realmente el mundo del Rock esta mal si se llega a estos extremos. El nuevo cantante es Benoit David del grupo "Close to the Edge", especialista en temas de Yes. La verdad es que el joven canta bien, y la voz se le parece... pero no es Jon, no tiene el carisma de Jon, y no creo que componga como Jon.

Creo que esta muy cabreado con la decision de sus colegas. Volverá Yes al completo ?

- Nota íntegra de Jon Anderson:


"Not Yes"

September 18, 2008

Disappointed, and very Disrespected

Disappointed that, with the exception of one phone call from Alan, none of the guys have been in touch since my illness, just to find out how I am doing, and how we will foresee the future for YES. And disappointed that they were not willing to wait till 2009 when I’m fully recovered.

And I feel very disrespected, having spent most of this year creating songs and constant ideas for the band, spending time with Roger Dean creating a stage design, also working with VH1 and Sirius and XM Radio to help promote the welfare of YES.

Getting sick was not "on my radar", and I thank my own angel Janeee and my family for helping me through this difficult time, and the many well wishers, friends and fans alike, for understanding that ''things happen''.

Of course I wish the guys all the best in their 'solo' work, but I just wish this could have been done in a more gentlemanly fashion. After all YES is a precious musical band.

This is not YES on tour...

I send best wishes to one and all."

Ahi esta el cantante con su grupo de homenaje a Yes, no lo hacen mal.
