He said:
“I’m very open to it. It’s been 50 years now. You think something has got to happen. To me, a great album has to be made. That’s what I think.
“I don’t know how it’s going to be made, but the final Yes event should happen. I’ve talked to a couple of people about it and they get it. I really want to do this.
“I’ve even written eight songs for the record that I’m thinking would work with a full orchestra and a choir.”
Asked if guitarist Steve Howe is into this idea, Jon replied:
“I don’t know. Maybe he’ll read this article and say yes or no. I don’t know.”
Currently, Yes is split into two parts: one in the hands of Steve Howe and another with the trio Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin.
