Geoff Downes

Geoff Downes confirms sessions amid criticism of his new Asia tour: "Haters won't stop us from doing what we do."

Geoff Downes looks back with UCR while also shedding some light on the rebuilt Asia lineup.

He was at work on new material when John Wetton's health began to rapidly deteriorate.

Some have suggested that they should change the name before touring again.

Heat of the Moment Tour will also feature Wishbone Ash's Martin Turner, Curved Air and emcee Roger Dean.

Mislabeled old work reel inadvertently included music from Curved Air cofounder Francis Monkman.

This is a strange time in Yes history.

The ever-busy Geoff Downes has just completed work on a new album with Asia, even as he begins recording another with Yes. Significant changes mark both projects, as the keyboardist moves forward without key collaborators in guitarist Steve Howe and producer Trevor Horn.

After packing concert halls over the past few years with a successful reunion of the band Asia, founding member Geoff Downes packed up his numerous keyboards to help Yes make their best album in years – despite the absence of original lead vocalist Jon Anderson.

Yes bassist Chris Squire says that the return of one-time Yes singer Trevor Horn as a producer on the band's upcoming album, 'Fly From Here,' led to the group welcoming keyboardist Geoff Downes back into its lineup.
