The first Asia album was released on March 18, 1982.

The members of ASIA have the following titles out ahead of a return to band activities in 2016. The band wishes its fans the best for the festive season and will be outlining future plans in a forthcoming announcement.

John Wetton’s Live via Satellite collects together both of Wetton’s acoustic solo concerts for radio broadcasts.  The XM radio broadcast was an official website only title over 10 years ago and has never had a commercial release. The Swedish radio broadcast (previously unreleased) was thought lost in a fire, until a duplicate of the master tapes was found thanks to a long and tireless search by Wetton’s fans.

I start chemo 2moro–I urge everyone to be checked for cancer regularly, ’cause cancer growth is rapid–and before you know it–agonising

On the16th May, John underwent surgery for the successful removal of a 1 kilo [2.2lb] malignant mass. 

John wishes to extend his thanks to Mr Chan and his team. 

John is also beyond grateful for the wonderful wishes and prayers received.

John is recuperating.
