Rock News Story Of The Year No. 04: YES
In early March, original Yes singer Jon Anderson revealed that both he and Rush bassist Geddy Lee would perform with the band at their induction into the 2017 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in New York the following month.
Anderson told Billboard that Lee would join the group for a performance of their 1971 classic, “Roundabout”, in place of the late Chris Squire, who passed away in 2015 at the age of 67.
"Chris is going to be there in spirit," said Anderson. "He always believed that we should have been in the Hall of Fame 10, 29 years ago. It wasn't high on my agenda; 'It happens when it happens' was my mantra.
"But we know Chris will be there in spirit, in energy. I loved the guy very much. Without him I wouldn't be here, that's for sure.”
