Man that is sad news. I am genuinely shocked. One of my favourite musicians. What a great loss. RIP Chris

Dreadful, terrible news. Words cannot express. Not only a seminal bass player/ all around musician but a really funny guy to boot. This sucks hard.

 

[JimJam]

This is awful news. Too damn young. By all accounts a good guy and, of course, one of rock's greatest bassists, and i don't only mean prog.

 

[That 70s Guy]

RIP brother.

Think I'll spin some YES today.

 

[Philmore]

The first song that came to my mind that I had to hear was Siberian Khatru.
Such great bass playing on that track. RIP.

Oh no !! Another fine rock star sadly passing away. R.I.P Chris Squire

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

Horrible. He was a great musician. R.I.P.

 

[Johnny-Too-Good]

The only member of the band to feature on every studio album I believe. R I P Chris.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

The only member of the band to feature on every studio album I believe. R I P Chris.

Has was the only constant member. As such, and with all the other guys being fluid over the years, I'm not sure how I feel about the band continuing as Yes.

One of the all time greatest bass players as well as the most distinctive one.

R.I.P.
