“We hope the combination of Roger Dean’s artwork and these musicians really makes for something special”: Steve Howe on Yes’ new album, his solo career, and his honest take on those massive box sets

For a man of 78, Steve Howe is remarkable. He recently completed an extensive theatre tour of the USA with Yes, presenting the band’s 1971 classic Fragile in all its glory; and he’s now looking forward to an equally busy 2026, which will see further live work including a jaunt around the UK playing the same set, a trip to Japan and – astonishingly – the third new Yes album in six years.

Furthermore, he has more solo material in the works, following the recent remastered versions of his albums Natural Timbre from 2001 and Portraits Of Bob Dylan from 1999. To accompany the latter, he also put out Signals Crossed, an EP of three unreleased versions of Dylan songs.
