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.
The Bordello's track was really clever. Has the Mayor of Coverville heard of or got Paul's all-covers album "Run Devil Run"? All 50's rock and roll, recorded after he lost Linda when he wanted to go back to his roots. Entertaining album, with Dave Gilmour on guitar.
By the way, it wasn't mentioned on the show I think, but it was Paul's birthday on the 18th June. Happy birthday Paul!
The singer of New Duncan Imperials sounds a lot like Duncan Shiek. Any connection?
