I'm a big Yes fan. He was a superb drummer.

RIP Mr. White.

I read this earlier. Very sorry to hear it as I'm a big Yes fan too. My first concert was Yes at the Boston Garden in December of 1974....the Relayer tour and Alan White was there of course.

RIP Alan White.

RIP Alan White. I was a teenager in the 70s when prog rock came around and Yes was one of my favorites. Bill Bruford played on Close to the Edge, so Alan had some big shoes to fill but he did it well. I saw him 5 times over the years, those were some great concerts. For a bit of trivia here is my original solo album of his.
