Jon Anderson on stage
NE of Accrington’s most famous sons will be enjoying something of a busman’s holiday when he flies over from his home in California next month.
For Jon Anderson, former lead singer of Yes, will be taking time out from his holiday to play a special show in the intimate surroundings of Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre – one of just two dates in the UK.
“I’ll be on holiday in Europe and the chance for the show came along which I thought would be good,” said Jon. “But I’ll still have the chance to get up to Accrington and see how things are there.”
Having grown up in the Peel Park area of Accrington Jon, joined his brother Tony in the band the Warriors who had some success in the early Sixties before Jon went to London, first as a solo artist and then as singer with a band called The Gun.
In March 1968, Jon met bassist Chris Squire and this meeting led to the formation of the band Yes who became one of the biggest bands in the world.
Now 68, Jon whose unique voice graced such rock classics as Roundabout, Going For the One, Owner of a Lonely Heart and Wondrous Stories has been very busy recently.
