YES Cancels Tour Dates Following Death Of STEVE HOWE's Son

12 September 2017

Due to the tragic, unexpected death of guitarist Steve Howe's beloved younger son Virgil, progressive rockers YES have canceled the remaining dates of their 'Yestival' tour.

Ticket refunds for the affected tour dates (in Moorhead, Cedar Rapids, London, Rochester, Boston and Huntington) will be available at point of purchase.

The YES members — Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood — want to thank all their fans for their support and understanding at this time.

Howe and his family ask for their privacy to be respected.

Virgil's death comes just two months before the scheduled arrival of 'Nexus', a new instrumental album on which he collaborated with Steve. The effort is scheduled to be released on November 17 via InsideOut.

"I've done a wealth of different things but I haven't done anything like this before," Steve told Prog magazine a few weeks ago. "I feel it's steering me in a different direction. It's a full-on collaborative album, not a duet. It's been refreshing to work with Virgil and we've pulled this beautiful album together. Although it's got shades of mellow music, it doesn't sit still. It moves across electronic music and my guitars. This is an opportunity to discover what Virgil's been doing on the side of his drumming with LITTLE BARRIE. He's got a hard rock and funk side but this has totally different shades."
