R.I.P the great Chris Squire, only ever-present member of Yes, and bassist extraordinaire.
Only diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia last month.

RIP the bloke of course, and sympathies to his friends and loved ones ......... but thankfully no more prog rock that was so far up it's own arse that it couldn't breathe,

So sad you felt the need to post that on such a thread, it does you a disservice and it disrespects him, after all it was his life's work.

Self taught bass guitarist who was the only constant through the ever changing line-ups of the band.
Very sad indeed

One of the best bass guitarists ever, and had the pleasure of seeing him play with Yes no fewer than 5 times, the highlight being at Loftus Road in 1975. A truly awesome musician who will be greatly missed. RIP Chris.

Totally unnecessary, really glad you felt the need to share that.
