Yes returns to the US for winter headlining trek

Prog-rock veterans Yes will launch a North American headlining trek in February with a pair of new members officially added to the band's lineup.

The returning three members of the band's most commercially successful lineup--bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe and drummer Alan White--will be joined by singer Benoit David and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman (son of the band's longtime keyboardist, Rick Wakeman) during the trek, which kicks off Feb. 4 in Concord, NH. The 14-city road trip concludes Feb. 28 in Boca Raton, FL. Details are included below.

The band's longtime lead singer, Jon Anderson, was diagnosed last spring with acute respiratory failure and advised by his doctors to take at least six months off. The other members of Yes replaced Anderson on the road with David, who had previously fronted a Yes tribute band.

In October, Squire told an interviewer on the UK's Planet Rock radio station that "this is now Yes," and confirmed that both David and the younger Wakeman are now full-time members of the band. Anderson, meanwhile, has since recovered from his illness and is concentrating on a solo career.

Yes has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide during its 40-year career, according to a press release. The British quintet released its 17th and most recent studio album, "Magnification," in 2001.
