Depeche Mode is one of my favorite groups, and I saw one of the Yes shows with the reunited lineup with Alan in the early 00s, so this sucks.

Mine, too. Love both bands...have seen DMode live about 5 or 6 times and they've always been great.
I've never been to a Yes show, but their 70s material is untouchable.

Crazy to think that all of these people died on the same day. RIP especially to Ray Liotta. Gonna be watching Goodfellas later today in his honor.

I was just thinking about Yes a minute ago, and how much I enjoy listening to them. They already lost Chris Squire a few years back, and he was the musical heart and soul of the band, even during the Rabin (80's) era. Alan White played on those Trevor Rabin Yes albums too and was totally solid.
