Jon Anderson says he completely understands the difficulties that replacement vocalist Benoit David had in taking over. Yes’ founding frontman says he spent decades developing the needed stamina.
“Over the years, I developed very strong vocal power — so that I could sing for two hours, three hours sometimes with the band,” Anderson tells Rich Lynch, during his internet show Rockin Rich on the Radio via SoundPress.net. “So when young guys come in, they think they can do it, but quite honestly it’s not that easy to sing for such a long time with a band that volume-wise is pretty loud. I can understand; they thought: ‘Yes, we can do this, no problem.’ Then you go in and try it, and realize it isn’t that easy. I spent years, and years and years, developing strong vocals, strong lungs, to be able to sing very powerfully all the time. People find out. It isn’t that easy.”
