Cancer took him at only 67.

He was one of the founding fathers of progressive rock.

Quite possibly the greatest bassist in the history of rock.

I'll spin Fragile tonight in his honor. Sleep well Mr. Squire.

I'd love to be able to say Yes was a primary influence for me, but I can't play that stuff. It's too hard. Squire was a monster player and a core member of the band that was at the top of the prog food chain.

A sad sad day indeed. Jack Bruce last year, Chris now. Just listen to Roundabout for the perfect marriage of prog and pop, w/the most amazing bass tone and groove.
Chris was always late to a take. Always. Like a Mammoth trying to be on time attending a job interview! But my God, was the end result worth it. Bill Bruford gave up after Close To The Edge, but always saluted Chris' beyond-superlative talent. To say he'll be missed is like us here saying we all sort of like music.
