I just read a tweet from Geoffrey Downes about it. Very sad news.

A very sad loss.
 
Chris inspired me all the way from Time and a Word onwards

Chris a show-off? Yeah. Any other bass player use a triple neck like he did on Awaken? Doubt it.

Interestingly that bass was commissioned by (depending on the story) either Rick Wakeman or his bassist, Roger Newell for use on one of Rick's solo tours and then Rick later gave it to Chris. It started life as a six string guitar plus fretted and fretless bass necks, but Chris restrung the guitar neck like an 8-string bass but missing the bottom course of strings. 

Now that is a story I've never heard. Thank you so much for sharing it. Always wondered. That ax must have weighed a ton!

Not good. Simply not good.
 
RIP Chris.

RIP Chris Squire
 
Absolutely one of the greatest rock bass players!
One of my favorite musicians...
 
 

He was a great bass player in a great band. 

RIP Chris  what a void 

Yes RIP Chris Squire. Still have Close To The Edge on vinyl and it still gets a spin regularly...

It's (the start of) the end of an era... 
 
To paraphrase something Mike Keneally once said, "Yes' music was ingrained in my DNA".   Same here, and it couldn't have happened without Chris.    RIP.   
 
Fortunately I have a ton of Yes music on hand, so as they say, the music lives on.  
 

RIP Chris, I'll be blasting out Close to the Edge this evening!
