John Payne replaced vocalist/bassist John Wetton as the front man of the supergroup ASIA in 1992 at the invitation of keyboardist Geoff Downes. ASIA extensively toured the world for the next 14 years performing new classics and old favorites. With John Payne fronting the band, ASIA released 8 stunning studio albums and several live recordings.
In 2006, Geoff Downes left the band to reform the 1982 line up for their 25th anniversary. On the 9th of May 2006, John Payne, Geoff Downes, John Wetton, Carl Palmer and Steve Howe contractually agreed that John Payne would continue his 14 year legacy with ASIA as "ASIA Featuring John Payne". ASIA Featuring John Payne have commenced touring in North America and a new studio album, "Architect of Time" is planned for release in late 2008. - Myspace page
