        Oh man. I'm a huge Yes fan and, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first of the core members that we've lost.

        R.I.P Chris, and thank you for helping to make some of the greatest prog music of all time.

            I heard the news on Twitter when Geoff Downes first reported it. Hoped it was false for a bit!

            So gutted. I've seen Yes many times and I got to meet Chris a few times.

            There are some lovely tributes from members and fellow musicians.http://yesworld.com/2015/06/chris-squire/

              Yeah, old prog's dying I guess. Chris Squire was a big influence on a lot of prog-loving bassists and his line on Roundabout is an immortal piece of bass. Sad to see him go.
