John Wetton, Frontman for Asia, Dies Aged 67

John Wetton, the lead singer of prog-rock supergroup Asia, died on January 31. He was 67. He had been battling cancer and sepsis for a number of months.

Wetton enjoyed a stellar career in the 1970s and 1980s, performing with a number of high-profile bands, but was best known to the public for his work with Asia. Their eponymous debut album spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the US album chart and sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

Friends and fans alike lined up on Twitter to pay tribute to Wetton, who was born in Derbyshire in 1949.
