Still, the album is set for a November 17 release—something Steve Howe hopes will continue to carry on Virgil’s legacy. And just days before the album’s released, Steve shared a poignant new video for the album’s song “Leaving Aurora.” It’s a simple video that pays tribute to Virgil, showing Steve on guitar while cutting to clips and images of his youngest son.
