Close to the Edge: The Story of YES

The small format edition of the classic rock biography has been updated to include details of the group's activities over the last 18 months including their forthcoming box set In A Word and international tour. They have been on the rock circuit for almost 35 years. Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire and Bill Bruford are just some of the star players who helped make the band one of the greatest ever names in classic rock. Their turbulent story spans the early days of pub and club gigs, international supergroup status in the heyday of rock, and various line-ups since. Rock critic Chris Welch was there for the whole crazy journey, interviewing the changing band members many times over the years. Now he tells their complex and often hilarious story with the help of interviews with band members past and present.
