on his Facebook page by his family. The post said he died at his Seattle-area home Thursday after a brief illness. Just days earlier, Yes had announced that due to health issues White would not take part in the band’s upcoming tour of the United Kingdom to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic album"Close to the Edge."
White joined Yes in 1972, replacing original drummer Bill Bruford. In a band noted for frequent lineup changes, White was a constant and was inducted into theThough he didn’t play on"Close to the Edge," he performed on every subsequent Yes studio album over nearly five decades, including the band’s latest release,"The Quest," which came out last year.
White stayed with the band through its many iterations. The trailblazing act in the progressive rock scene in England grew in popularity in the early 1970s alongside bands like Genesis, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. Yes was especially known for its intricate arrangements and the musical skill of its individual members.
When progressive rock fell out of fashion in the late 1970s, many of the bands associated with the genre struggled. Following another lineup change, Yes, with White still behind the drum kit, reinvented itself in the 1980s as a harder edged band that appealed to younger listeners more attuned to heavy metal and the visual cues of music videos. In 1983 Yes released the smash hit album"90125."
