About ASIA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pooling the talents of bassist\/vocalist John Wetton<\/strong>, drummer Carl Palmer<\/strong>, keyboardist Geoff Downes<\/strong> and guitarist Steve Howe<\/strong>, ASIA<\/strong> immediately became the epitome of a supergroup of rock aristocracy and the natural heir to its members legendary bands of the 70s \u2013 King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, The Buggles and Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving behind their progressive roots, ASIA embraced the commercial FM rock sound that dominated US airwaves and took that, and the new MTV video channel, by storm.  The single Heat Of The Moment<\/em> was a world-wide monster smash and their eponymous 1982 debut album spent an incredible 9 weeks<\/em> at No. 1 on the Billboard chart as Asia<\/em> became the biggest selling album of the year and world tour dates sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second album, Alpha<\/em>, was released in 1983. The four original members reconvened in 2006 for a world tour, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that incredible success, and the album Phoenix<\/em> followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the members were still heavily involved in other projects, they came together again to record Omega<\/em> in 2010 and XXX<\/em> in 2012, both albums were acclaimed by their faithful fans and supported by more world tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Howe stepped back from ASIA to concentrate on his work with YES and was absent for 2014\u2019s Gravitas<\/em>. Following this tour came the news of John Wetton\u2019s treatment for cancer, a fight he sadly lost in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
