Jon Anderson To Reunite With Yes For Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction

Seminal progressive rock band Yes will be among the inductees at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 7. The band’s co-founding frontman Jon Anderson has confirmed he will reunite for a performance with the legendary group.

Anderson and late bassist Chris Squire established the British prog rock band Yes in 1968. Squire, Anderson and Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Alan White, Rick Wakeman, Tony Kaye and Trevor Rabin make up the official Yes lineup going into the Hall. Anderson last performed as a member of Yes in 2004 and officially left the group in 2008 after a fallout with his band mates.

“We’re definitely connected,” Anderson told Billboard. “It’s a family. There’s always animosity. People that you love you don’t always like, and there’s always going to be that. But when you’re celebrating who you truly are, you forget about all that and just get on with meeting each other and seeing each other, and it’s just one of those things. It’s not a problem; We’ll just get together and have fun. Music is a healing force on every level.”

Along with Yes, Pearl Jam, Journey, Joan Baez, Electric Light Orchestra and Tupac Shakur will also be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. This year’s ceremony also includes Nile Rodgers of Chic receiving the Award For Musical Excellence.
