Alan White Children: Meet Casse White And Jesse White (Yes Drummer)

Alan White was an English drummer and songwriter.

White was best known for his tenure in the progressive rock band Yes, having joined them in 1972 as a replacement for original drummer, Bill Bruford.

Following the death of bassist Chris Squire in 2015, White became the longest-remaining member in the band.

In 1969, White joined John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band, after Lennon invited him to play at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival, followed by a show at the Lyceum Ballroom.

White notably played drums on the singles “Instant Karma!” and “Imagine”, as well as on eight of the ten tracks on Lennon’s 1971 Imagine album.

In addition to his work with Yes and John Lennon, White performed on over 50 albums by other performers, notably George Harrison, Ginger Baker’s Air Force, Terry Reid, Joe Cocker and The Ventures.

White was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of Yes, in 2017.

White died 5 years later on 26 May 2022 aged 72 after a brief illness and he is survived by his wife Gigi and children Jesse and Cassi.
