John Roy "Jon" Anderson (born 25 October 1944) is an English musician, singer and songwriter best known as the co-founder and former lead vocalist in the progressive rock band Yes and his solo career, for which he has collaborated with numerous artists.
Early life
Anderson was born John Roy Anderson in the town of Accrington in Lancashire, in north west England. His father Albert was from Scotland and his mother Kathleen was of Irish ancestry. Anderson dropped the "h" from his first name in 1970. Anderson attended St. John's Infants School in Accrington. There he made a tentative start to a musical career, playing the washboard in Little John's Skiffle Group who performed songs by Lonnie Donegan, among others. After leaving school at the age of fifteen, Anderson landed a series of jobs including farm hand, lorry driver, and a milkman. He tried to pursue a football career at Accrington Stanley F.C., but at 5feet 5inches (1.65m) tall he was turned down because of his frail constitution. He remains a fan of the club.
In 1971, Anderson graduated from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, with a bachelor’s degree in economics. In the Ivy League and at the national level, Anderson notched numerous achievements during his collegiate career. In 1969 and 1970, Anderson was an Ivy League cross country first team selection. He won the Ivy League and Heptagonal Cross Country Championship in 1970 at Van Cortlandt Park, New York City. In the spring of 1970, he was named an NCAA All-American when he placed third in the NCAA Division I six-mile at Drake Stadium, Des Moines, Iowa. Anderson was injured (stress fracture) during the 1971 outdoor track season. In his senior year at Cornell, Anderson was elected to the Sphinx Head senior honor society. He was also a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity.
Known as "Ando", he is well known for appearing in a Herald Sun segment called "At the Bar with Robbo and Ando". He also wrote a column in 1993 that publicised the nickname "FIGJAM" for Nathan Buckley.
In April, 2010, Anderson was arrested and charged for Drink Driving and Careless driving after reversing his car through the back of a Pizza shop. He was recorded with a blood alcohol limit of .139. Following this incident, Anderson's "At the Bar with Robbo and Ando" column was dropped.
From the 2011 album " Survival and other Stories "
