(PR) Prog rock legends Yes have revealed the rescheduled dates for their previously postponed UK tour that will celebrate their classic 1971 album "Fragile".
The tour will see Yes performing, 'Fragile', in its entirety, including such timeless songs as 'Heart of the Sunrise', 'South Side of the Sky' and the much loved 'Roundabout' as well as a selection of songs from right across their illustrious catalogue from their legendary 70's releases right up to their new studio album Aurora out on 12th June.
'Fragile' was the fourth album by YES cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971 achieving Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The single, 'Roundabout' was a Top 20 hit in the States with the album breaking into the Top 5 on the Billboard chart receiving a Double Platinum certification in the process.
Steve Howe: "After The Yes Album, everything seemed to align. With Eddie Offord co-producing, and each of us contributing solo pieces, Fragile became a bold statement of creativity. It was Bill Bruford's idea to include individual showcases-it was a bit oddball, but it captured the spirit of the time."
Each show will feature a gallery of work by esteemed artist, Roger Dean, whose paintings have graced the covers of many of YES albums over the years. 'Fragile' was the first YES album to feature Dean's iconic artwork.
The current line-up of YES features Steve Howe, whose association with Yes began in 1970, along with Geoff Downes, a member of the 1980 'Drama' era line-up. Jon Davison has been lead vocalist in Yes since 2012 while bassist, Billy Sherwood, who was hand-picked by original bassist Chris Squire, has been involved with YES since 1990s. Jay Schellen, who worked closely with Alan White on drums, completes the line-up.
Steve Howe: "We're all now looking forward to the UK dates in 2027 and will be presenting all of 'Fragile', in its entirety and much more. See you all then" See the dates here
