The touring line-up has been announced!
Certainly, the most exciting news for long-time YES fans was the recent announcement that three of the group’s best known past members, singer Jon Anderson, guitarist Trevor Rabin, and keyboardist Rick Wakeman – ARW – have united and will be embarking on a world tour starting in early October (October 4th in Orlando, Florida at Hard Rock Live) running through the spring of 2017. And now, it is time to announce who will be joining the trio for the 2016 tour:
Lee Pomeroy - bass guitar Lee is an award winning composer and producer, as well as being an in demand session musician. As a professional bass player, Lee has recorded, toured, and performed with a diverse roster of high profile artistes, including Jeff Lynne’s ELO, Take That, Steve Hackett and Rick Wakeman. “I have played with arguably the 3 greatest bass players ever, Chris Squire, John Entwistle, and Lee Pomeroy!” says Rick Wakeman.” And I can’t wait to play with him again!”
Lee did great on the Genesis material on Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited tour. It'll be great to hear him play Yes music!

Lou was an original member of Cock Robin, who released their debut album on Columbia Records.
