My wife just told me Alan White has passed away.
He was an awesome player and seemed like a nice guy from the stuff I have seen and read.
Only Admins can see this message.
Data Transition still in progress. Some functionality may be limited until the process is complete.
RIP Alan White

Great drummer with Yes, taking over early on for Bill Bruford when he left to join King Crimson. Saw him live a few times and I was always amazed with how his technical precision meshed with an ever-present and heavy groove. He was an influence for sure! R.I.P.

Sad news, indeed. I know that he is on the cover of one of my copies of MD. I'll have to look that one up and post it.

Worked with John Lennon on Lennon's earliest solo LPs, of which I think are better than anything he did with The Beatles. Plastic Ono Band and Imagine albums are some incredible works of artistry.
