Peter Banks, the original guitarist in Yes, who played on their first two albums has died at the age of 65.

Very sad, as he is the first of all the many members that Yes have had over the years (at least 16 by my count) to have passed away.

RIP

The same day as the first member of Iron Maiden to pass away Clive Burr

Getting to be a bad year for guitarists of that era.

A shame he had to leave the band on bad terms.

He was very good in Yes, but I bought his first solo album, nominally by a makeshift group called Flash. It was so awful that I became almost fascinated by it.

Heart attack, found dead at his home when he didn't turn up at the studio.
