Bad news for Unwired...

NEW YORK - The classic rock band Yes has canceled its 40th anniversary tour following frontman Jon Anderson's severe asthma attack last month.

The 63-year-old singer, who's since been diagnosed with acute respiratory failure, was ordered by doctors last weekend to rest for at least six months "or suffer further health complications," it was announced Wednesday in a statement released by representatives for the band and Live Nation, which was presenting the tour.

I have to admit I have mixed feelings...back in 2002 I was chuffed to have seen the real Yes at long last, and they didn't disappoint, though some of the fire was definitely gone...I'll have to post something from the '77 tour on Sexual Tourette's to show how ferocious their live shows used to be.
