A Rush pinball machine based on the Canadian prog-rock heroes is on the way – you can check out a teaser below.
Released in conjunction with Stern Pinball, it’s the latest in a series of rock n roll pinball machines from the manufacturer, including games based on AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Iron Maiden and Metallica.
While the teaser does not offer a price or a look at the machine itself, it features an animated CGI version of the owl from the band’s album cover for 1975’s ‘Fly By Night’. The teaser also lists 17 songs, including classic rock radio hits ‘Tom Sawyer’, ‘Limelight’, ‘The Spirit Of The Radio’.

In September it was revealed that 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 âlocked down for over a year and a halfâ he spent lots of time with his family, but struggled to deal with Peartâs 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 Neilâs 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 SiriusXMâs âTrunk Nation with Eddie Trunkâ, 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. Thereâs no way Rush will ever exist again because Neilâs not here to be a part of it.”
The post Rush to release their own pinball machine appeared first on NME.
