Any hard feelings about front man Jon Anderson’s split from Yes are way behind him.

While you could dedicate hours of study into the tumult and numerous fissures in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band’s history, all you need to know now is that Anderson and the Steve Howe-led version of Yes are happy enough on their own paths.

For Anderson, convergence between himself and Howe is welcome at this point — like a reunion with any old friend — even if they haven't yet talked about reuniting their fragmented band. After seeing his longtime band mate at Yes’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2017, Anderson was convinced that the two were bound to work together again somehow.

He was right. Anderson is now preparing to release his 15th solo album, 1,000 Hands, on March 31. The album includes contributions from dozens of musicians, including Howe.

“I was gonna ask if he would like to play on the last song, which is ‘Now And Again,’” Anderson tells Ken Dashow’s Beatles Revolution podcast. “He played this beautiful guitar work on it. We met up at the Hall of Fame and everything. I kept looking at him, saying ‘We’re gonna sing together. We’re going to work together again.’ He said, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’ Life carries on, you know.”
