It’s with the heaviest of hearts and unbearable sadness that we must inform you of the passing of our dear friend and Yes co-founder, Chris Squire.
Chris peacefully passed away last night (27 June 2015) in Phoenix, Arizona.
We will have more information for you soon.
Thankyou for all your heartfelt tributes on Facebook and Twitter.
