In September it was revealed thatĀ Rush frontman Geddy Lee is gearing up to release a memoir, written as a means of coping with the loss of the band’s legendary drummer and his longtime friend Neil Peart during the coronavirus pandemic.
Writing in an Instagram post, Lee said that while he was ālocked down for over a year and a halfā he spent lots of time with his family, but struggled to deal with Peartās death. The 68-year-old singer also lost his mother in July.
“My friend and collaborator on the Big Beautiful Book of Bass, Daniel Richler, saw how I was struggling in the aftermath of Neilās passing, and tried coaxing me out of my blues with some funny tales from his youth, daring me to share my own in return,” Lee said.
Peart died in January 2020 at the age of 67 following a battle with brain cancer.
Speaking on SiriusXMās āTrunk Nation with Eddie Trunkā, Lifeson said: “I know Rush fans are a unique bunch, and I love them. It was a really good two-way relationship. But I think, really, Rush ended in 2015. Thereās no way Rush will ever exist again because Neilās not here to be a part of it.”
The post Rush to release their own pinball machine appeared first on NME.
