Oh man----I just read this and it floored me.
Being a teenager in the early 80s, I always had the first ASIA album in my car's tape deck blaring. It was through ASIA that I discovered King Crimson, Uriah Heep and Roxy Music. John's vocal range was very unique to him and when I hear his voice in a song, I can immediately identify that voice.
Man, this one's going to bum me out for a long while as I was just listening to "ALPHA," the second ASIA album yesterday in the car.
RIP, John. Prayers for peace and condolences to your family, friends and fans worldwide...sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon. -
One of my favorites, very unique voice.Comment

if anything, Before he passed away and the year he spent doing CHEMO, he posted constantly, to everyone, "GO GET CHECKED OUT"!!! If you have loved ones and care about them go do so!!!Comment

I was a big fan of Wetton going back to his King Crimson and UK days as well. Rest well John.

Not a fan of prog rock... yet I'm a huge fan of when those bands go "pop".... Genesis' self-titled, Yes' 90125 are some of my favorite albums.
Asia's debut?
HUGE favorite.
I had no problem attending an Asia concert, despite attending alone... it was important to me... the original line-up's reunion tour a few years back... one of the greatest things I've ever been at.
RIP John Wetton"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment
