Need the singer of a cover band to fill in while your lead singer's out sick? Yes!

Following in the footsteps of bands like Judas Priest, Journey and Boston, Yes is turning to the lead singer of Close To The Edge - a Yes tribute band - to fill in on their 40th Anniversary Tour while Jon Anderson recovers from acute respiratory failure, as reported by Rolling Stone this morning.

I can't believe they'd go with a sub for the 40th Anniversary Tour, though. Why not push it back a year so that Jon can be a part of it?

Ah well, it's all been done before, right? Wake me when this happens with a solo performer.
