Trever Horne joined as singer on Drama while Jon Anderson was out of the band - I gather the Buggles were rehearsing a few doors down and the remaining members of Yes liked what they heard. Good album, that.

Geoff Downes has been doing Asia more or less continuously since, initially with the Wetton/Howe/Palmer "supergroup" lineup and then later with frontman John Payne, who then promptly got left in the lurch when the aforementioned Wetton/Howe/Palmer were looking to cash in on 80s nostalgia for some ready change. Interestingly, while the split was (I understand) less than amicable, there are now 2 "Asia"s, as "Asia featuring John Payne" is actively touring, continuing to perform the 90s material of the band. I find most of the original Asia material awfully trite and formulaic at this point, but I gotta say, they used to (possibly still) do pretty sweet versions of "Starless" and "Book of Saturday" from Wetton's "King Crimson" days.
