SEATTLE — Alan White, the longtime drummer for progressive rock pioneers Yes who also played on projects with John Lennon and George Harrison, has died. When progressive rock fell out of fashion in the late 1970s many of the bands associated with the genre struggled. White played with bands in England throughout the 1960s. “A voice announced, ‘Hello, this is John Lennon,’” White said. White played a 1969 concert in Toronto with Lennon's band, which also included guitarist Eric Clapton.
