Yes have been forced to postpone their previously announced U.K. tour, as guitarist Steve Howe needs to undergo surgery.
The progressive rock icons had planned a nine-date run across the U.K., kicking off on April 22 at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and wrapping up with two shows at the London Palladium on May 3 and 4.
The tour was set to feature a full performance of their classic 1971 album “Fragile”, alongside a selection of tracks spanning their celebrated ’70s era through to their latest release, “Mirror to the Sky”.
Earlier today (Thursday, April 2),Yes released the following statement via social media:
“The upcoming YES ‘Fragile’ UK and EU tour, due to commence on 22nd April, has had to be postponed as guitarist Steve Howe requires an essential operation that requires recovery time. This decision has been made to ensure that Steve can return to the stage in full health and deliver the performances that fans deserve.
“We are working hard to reschedule the UK and EU shows to a later date, with full details to be announced after Easter. Please retain your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled dates. Tour dates currently being arranged for later in 2026 will proceed as planned.
“Steve Howe and Yes would like to thank their UK fans and hope for their continued support at this time”.
We would like to wish Steve Howe all the best with his surgery and a speedy recovery.
