Chris Squire's Death Cast Doubt On Future For Yes
. But Sherwood - who'd been standing in for Squire since his illness was announced - has owned up to concerns about whether he'd be accepted. He tells Classic Rock Revisited: "No one was sure if Yes was going to continue, with me at the tip of that spear. I wasn't sure. Will these people accept me here? I understand the pain - but will this work? To my surprise, I'm very happy to say the majority of Yes fans are rallying behind the band right now." He recalls the comforting experience of the band's most recent Cruise To The Edge event, referring to "lots of love and well-wishes for Chris and his family" and "the same emotions and feelings for Yes moving forward and me doing what I'm doing." Sherwood - who's on his third stint with Yes - admits he didn't realize he was being lined up to permanently replace Squire when the pair first spoke about it. "It was about filling in for him. But as things progressed and he got closer to his mortality, I think he was more in touch with reality than I was. In his way he was prepping me for, you know, 'You are going to take this. Do you promise me you're going to do this? Tell me you're into it.' All these things." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. |
