His story is one for the ages, and now it will finally be told.
Alan White was a man who lived a higher purpose: as a teen phenom, playing on John Lennon and George Harrison’s biggest solo hits; as an explosive, artful precision drummer and percussionist who achieved hall of fame status as a member of one of the biggest progressive rock bands of all time; and as a dedicated and beloved husband, father, mentor, and philanthropist. In a world of high-flying rock stardom, Alan White remained a loyal and constant force in the ever-changing world of the rock band YES, the only constant member of YES for 50 years . Living his life free from the trappings of rock stardom, Alan’s artistic purpose throughout his career was to serve music. Now, more than 50 years after stepping foot in the studio with John Lennon, his story will be celebrated in an upcoming documentary.
