As many of you know, The Ladder is one of my favorite Yes album, and Igor Khoroshev's keyboards are featured prominently on it.  I wondered why he wasn't the keyboardist on the Magnification tour, so I did some research, and it appears that he was fired for sexual harassment at a Montreal concert, backstage.

I could find no further details.

...did he try to molest Jon?  Anyone know?  Confused

Saw him on The Ladder tour in Boston and was quite impressed.  From what I had heard, it had to do with some underage fans in Montreal.

How would he be on the Magnification tour? He wasn't even on the album. He left after The Ladder which is why Magnifiaction has an orchestra instead of keyboards.

Exactly.  I was wondering what caused him to leave Yes; if he hadn't, he would've been on that album, ne?

If it's related to underage fans, wasn't that a bit of a Wakeman thing also ? I remember reading he preferred teenagers (16 yr old).  Mind you, Pimmy Jage had an american girlfriend during the mid70s, that would've reminded you of Jerry Lee's better days ...
