Asia

These dates mark the American debut of Sam Coulson, who replaced Steve Howe.

Asia has begun its newest post-Steve Howe era with a song that focuses more on the evolving songwriting partnership of John Wetton and Geoff Downes than on the presence of their new 20-something guitarist.

Asia will release their first album without founding guitarist Steve Howe next month. 'Gravitas,' which features new guitarist Sam Coulson, will be released on March 25 on Frontiers Records.

Purple Pyramid's ongoing series of tribute records has offered new re-recordings of hits by a growing list of artists that includes Genesis and Yes. The latest offering pays tribute to the Steve Miller Band.

Steve Howe explains that quitting Asia was really the only way he could properly serve his bandmates in Yes. In January, Howe -- who in 2006 had reunited with the original Asia lineup -- quit the band, with guitarist Sam Coulson announced as his replacement.

Legendary guitarist Steve Howe has quit the classic rock supergroup Asia, the band have confirmed.

Asia drummer Carl Palmer has commented on his illness, which has forced the band to cancel a December tour of the UK.

The classic rock supergroup Asia won't be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their debut album quite like they planned with their fans in the UK. The band have abruptly cancelled all of their upcoming overseas dates due to drummer Carl Palmer's bout with E. coli.
