new yes member (May 29, 2012) |
The Yes camp has decided to axe vocalist Benoir David, the former Yes tribute band Closer to the Edgesinger who stepped in to replace Jon Anderson while the classic Yes frontman was recovering from a respiratory ailment. Bassist Chris Squire told Rolling Stone David had started to “get a little wobbly onstage” during last year’s co-headlining tour with Styx. So David is out and Jon Davison, lead singer of Tennessee-based progressive rock band Glass Hammer is in. Said Squire, “Like Jon Anderson, he’s a tenor, but he has a different pitch to his voice. We just returned from our Pacific Rim tour and he did a fantastic job, so everything is happy again in the Yes realm.”
