The Joe Elliott Show - 4th July 2015 Quotes
Yes/Chris Squire
"Sadly, as possibly most of you already know, we lost another great rocker in the last few days. Chris Squire from Yes. I knew the big man. He was a very, very, very special talent and lovely, lovely guy. We met many years ago in Los Angeles. Had the pleasure of hanging out with him a bunch of times. Times to pay tribute to a wonderful musician. This is Yes."
"And before that from the album Tomato we heard Yes featuring the now late great Chris Squire with Don't Kill The Whale."
