Yes? No!

In today's prog rock news, Yes just put out a press release announcing the cancellation of their upcoming show in Seattle. "Due to unforeseen medical reasons, the 'In The Present Tour,' featuring Yes' Steve Howe, Chris Squire, and Alan White is canceling shows through February 24 (San Diego), including their scheduled Seattle appearance on February 18 at the Moore Theatre. The band wishes to apologize for any inconvenience that this might have caused to their fans and hopes to see them again soon." The aforementioned "medical reasons" seem to refer to bassist Chris Squire's recent hospitalization with an unspecified "medical emergency," though their 2008 40th anniversary reunion tour was also canceled due to frontman Jon Anderson's acute respiratory failure. Sounds like somebody in that band needs to take some vitamin C or something. Refunds are available at point of purchase.
