Thanks for bringing attention to this. I enjoyed Asia, even my Dad liked their songs. ..... makes me smile. Great voice just like Greg Lake ( ELP ) who was also a member and who also passed away just last year! RIP John.
R.I.P. John Wetton (King Crimson/Asia)
John Wetton passed away a few days ago, age 67. While I never listened to Asia, I was a fan of the mid-70's small version of King Crimson (Lark's Tongue in Aspic, Red, Starless and Bible Black and the live USA LP). He was a fine writer, vocalist and bassist. As usual, there's a pretty complete article in the New York Times obit section if you're interested.

Add to an impressive career his work in the band, U.K. (alongside some other noteworthy talents). Link to the NY Times obit mentioned above: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/31/arts/music/john-wetton-rocker-with-king-crimson-and-asia-dies-at-67.html?_r=0 |
