Yes have announced that they've been forced to postpone their upcoming UK Fragile tour as guitarist Steve Howe requires surgery.

The band were due to begin a nine-date run at Glasgow's Royal Concert Halllater this month with the tour culminating with two nights at the London Palladium in May, during which they planned to perform the whole of 1971's Fragile album as well as "a selection of songs from right across their illustrious catalogue from their legendary 70`s releases right up to their current album, Mirror To The Sky."

"This decision has been made to ensure that Steve can return to the stage in full health and deliver the performances that fans deserve," the band explain.

Work is going on behind the scenes to reschedule the UK and EU shows to a later date, with full details to be announced after Easter. Fans are advised to retain their 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," the band add.
