Geoff Downes was a member of The Buggles (Video Killed The Radio Star) before spending 1980 with Yes an then returning in 2011. Downes was also a member of Asia (Heat of the Moment) with Steve Howe.

Billy Sherwood was with Yes from 1997 to 2000 and rejoined the band in 2015 following the death of Chris Squire.

Current lead singer Jon Davison has fronted Yes since 2012. Before joining Yes he fronted the Yes covers band Roundabout.

‘The Quest’ is the first Yes album since ‘Heath & Earth’ in 2014 and first since the death of Squire. The band decided to record a new album during lockdown where there 2020 tour was bumped to 2021 and now 2022.
