RIP: Chris Squire (bassist for the band, Yes) 1948 – 2015

Sad news to report. The music industry lost another great one. Chris Squire, known as the longtime bassist and co-founder of one of the most famous prog rock bands, Yes, has just passed away due to leukemia. The band, Yes, has been together since the late 1960’s and Chris has played bass for them ever since.

Kind of a strange thing ’cause I was just starting to get into Yes’s music. I only have two albums by them and was meaning to get more of their albums sometime in the future. Yes, is a genius band and Chris was an important part of their sound. He was known to have a bass guitar that would have three necks.

Chris Squire was 67 years old.
