In a development that has thrilled progressive rock fans worldwide, **Jon Anderson**, the legendary former frontman of **YES**, is reportedly working on new music with past and present members of the iconic band. The news has sparked speculation about a potential reunion, marking the first time in years that Anderson and YES musicians have collaborated on fresh material.
While details remain scarce, sources close to the project suggest that Anderson has been in contact with longtime **YES guitarist Steve Howe** and keyboardist **Rick Wakeman**, two of the most influential figures in the band’s storied history. There are also rumors that other former and current YES members, including **bassist Billy Sherwood and drummer Jay Schellen**, may be involved in the sessions.
In a recent interview, Anderson hinted at upcoming surprises, saying:
*”I’ve been writing a lot of new music, and there’s something special happening. We’re exploring sounds that feel like classic YES, but with a fresh energy.”*
The idea of Anderson reuniting with YES in any capacity is significant. The singer, who co-founded the band in **1968**, was instrumental in crafting their signature sound on albums like **“Close to the Edge,” “Fragile,” and “Tales from Topographic Oceans.”** His departure from the group in 2008 left a noticeable void, though YES has continued performing with different vocalists.
If this collaboration results in a full-length album or even a special project, it would mark a monumental moment in progressive rock history. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement, which could come in the next few months.
For now, the idea of **Jon Anderson and YES creating music together once again** is enough to spark excitement among lifelong listeners, fueling hope for a new era of classic progressive rock.
