More Drama Tour Cancelled
1st August, 2005
Yes men Alan White, Steve Howe and Chris Squire have announced the unfortunate cancellation of their "More Drama" tour, which was due to begin tomorrow. The tour was scheduled to begin in Seattle as a VH1 presentation, but due to several problems has been cancelled until further notice.
According to official sources, the tour was cancelled due to security and immigration issues that have arisen since the bombings in London last month.
The tour was conceived in order to combine the three latest side projects for the veteran Yes men, and would have involved solo performances from Steve Howe, Chris Squire's band "The Syn", and Alan White's new band "White". The set was to close with a revisit of the Yes album "Drama" by the three Yes members joined by Geoff Downes of Asia who was a member of Yes during the original Drama tour and is also a member of White.
Although there is no firm explanation of why exactly the tour has been cancelled, an official statement from White states that the tour will be rescheduled at a later date. As of yet, there is no release date for White's new album which, although now finished, is expected to be available soon.
