Fragile is the fourth studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released in November 1971 on Atlantic Records. It is their first album recorded with keyboardist Rick Wakeman after the departure of Tony Kaye earlier in the year. It consists of nine tracks, four of which are group performances while five are solo features written by each member.
It marked the band's first collaboration with artist Roger Dean, who would design their logo and many of their future covers.
Fragile was the band's greatest commercial and critical success at the time of its release. It peaked at number 4 in the U.S. and number 7 in the UK. "Roundabout" was released as a single in the U.S. and is one of the band's best-known songs. The album is certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling over two million copies.
