Såp-operan i gruppen Spinal Ta… förlåt Yes, fortsätter. Nu sparkar man
Benoit David och ersätter honom med en annan anderson-klon, Glass
Hammers Jon Davidson. Vilket föranleder Anderson att replikera:

I haven't spoken with Chris (Squire) in four years, and the only
e-mail I have received from him in the last 3 years was him asking for
free tickets to my show in Mesa, AZ last week - very sad, but true


Benoit läste i en intervju att han sparkats. Här är hans pressmeddelande,

Dear YES fans,
As you all know, the final three shows of last year's European tour
were  cancelled due to my ill health. On my return to Canada, I was
advised to cease touring, for the foreseeable future, in order to
avoid further damage to y voice. Following this extremely
disappointing diagnosis, I had no alternative but to inform my fellow
band members that I was unable to confirm my availability for, at
least, the forthcoming concerts in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
Although there was no alternative, I did so with a heavy heart as I
felt that I was letting everyone down especially those who have
supported me since I had the privilege of becoming the band's vocalist
in 2008. The band members were all very understanding and asked if I
would mind being replaced for the April shows - I immediately agreed
that this would be the best way forward and gave them my blessing. I
was then pleased to learn that Jon Davison would be my replacement as he is an accomplished musician with a fine voice. I subsequently
learnt, from a band member's interview, that I had officially left Yes
and that my departure was permanent.
As this is the situation,
everyone should know that I will be eternally grateful for the
opportunity I was given and very proud to have contributed to more
than 200 concerts and to the 'Fly From Here' and 'In The Present Live
From Lyon' albums. I would also like to express my appreciation for
the support I was given by each member of the band, the fantastic
crew, the management and everyone else involved during my time as vocalist in the band. Finally, to the fans who have have applauded my efforts and to those I have had the pleasure of meeting - many thanks, my best wishes and please continue with your support of one of the world's greatest bands - YES. Although I need to take it easy for a while, I fully intend to continue with my music career. In late summer of 2011, I added vocals to Mystery's forthcoming album 'The World Is A Game' - which is at the final stages of mixing and will be available in the near future. This is my third collaboration with Michel St-Pere, and Mystery, following 2007's 'Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face' and 2010's 'One Among The Living'. So I guess I will, hopefully, see you somewhere down the road…
Blessings,
Benoit David

liljegren-bengt-pink-floydBokrea-tips: Liljegren, Bengt: Pink Floyd musiken, människorna, myterna. 99:-

Detta är den häpnadsväckande historien om hur det gick till när ett undergroundband förvandlades till världens största rockgrupp!

I fokus står kulthjälten Syd Barrett - den psykedeliska rörelsens ikon som snart sparkades ur gruppen.

Med en musikers sakkunskap och en historikers precision skildras gruppens spännande och kontroversiella historia av Bengt Liljegren - välkänd författare till biografier om Adolf Hitler och Karl XII och tidigare medlem i legendariska rockband som Garboshock och Underjordiska Lyxorkestern.
