Story, whose legal name is Rudolph Zahler, is claiming Davison and Yes' Steve Howe stole the music from his song "Reunion," which was featured in the indie movie A Winter Rose, for the Yes song "Dare To Know," which appeared on the band's 2021 album, The Quest.
"It's hard to put in words how it feels to wake up one day to hear that a person who I thought was a friend has brought not only an utterly fictitious, but also, a defamatory case against me," Davis shared on Yes' website, calling Riz's claims "blatant lies."
