Jon Anderson's musical journey began in the mid-1960s with his stint in a small British band, The Warriors. As the decade drew to a close, Anderson and bass guitarist Chris Squire joined forces to form a pioneering progressive rock band, Yes. This iconic group would go on to achieve unparalleled success over the course of 11 remarkable years.
However, in 1980, Anderson's tenure with Yes came to an abrupt end due to prolonged creative disagreements with the band regarding their musical direction. Following his departure, Anderson devoted several years to collaborating with renowned Greek synthesizer composer Vangelis, as well as releasing solo albums.
In 1983, Anderson made a triumphant return to a reconstituted Yes, lending his distinctive lead vocals to the album "90125". This critically acclaimed album featured Yes' only number one hit, the unforgettable "Owner of a Lonely Heart". After a brief hiatus from the band in the late 1980s, Anderson returned to Yes, and the group has continued to produce new music to this day, cementing Anderson's status as a legendary figure in the world of progressive rock.
