John Wetton, singer/bassist and veteran of multiple famed prog-rock outfits, died today (Jan. 31) in his sleep, with the cause of death being widely reported as colon cancer. He was 67.

Who Wetton played with is in his bio at wikipedia, it sounded like more of an association with Roxy music but actually playing, if for only 2 years, with Wishbone Ash.

Rest In Peace
Bless His Soul, even at 67, his mother survives him.
Seems like everyone who ever played with Carl Palmer has been dropping like flies.
Oh dear.... I guess any day now we’ll be hearing that Steve Howe is gone.
Yea ...Personally speaking I was never a Yes or Asia fan . King Crimson’s first 2 albums dug passionately but after those no interest until the Fripp , Bruford , Levin and Belew lineup in the late 70’s 80’s . ELP - only album I ever bought was the first .
Wow. I knew Squire and Lake had died the day after each passed. My favorite of the three bassists Steve Howe has played with, Wetton, passes and I didn’t know it for 6 weeks!
King Crimson, Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music, UK, Asia, and his solo stuff... I dug all of it.
Among his last words were “Bury Me in Willow.” No joke!
Now that some time has passed, it’d be kinda fun if Palmer teamed up with Lifeson and Lee for an album.
Sad news out of England.
Whatever became of poster “dp0622”?
