He was 72.
White’s death was announced on his Facebook page by his family. The post said he died at his Seattle-area home on Thursday after a brief illness.

White joined Yes in 1972, replacing original drummer Bill Bruford.
In a band noted for frequent lineup changes, White was a constant and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes in 2017.
