RIP Neil Peart

[BLUEYESTU]

A man who went through a period that would finish off most men - losing his daughter in a road accident then losing his wife to cancer shortly after.
Amazing drummer and talented writer and lyricist. RIP.

RIP

Will have a tribute listen day on Monday. Apart from a couple of albums I've neglected too much of their work.

Such a talent. RIP.

Very sad news.

I was lucky enough to attend the opening show of the last Rush tour in 2015. So glad I went that night now looking back.

RIP Pratt.

From the statement he must have developed this from mid 2016, so looking back we now know there was never any chance of any other shows.
What a career though. Incredible quality control throughout. His travel books are a great read too.

RIP. He was up there as one the greatest drummers.

My favourite Rush song. Always appreciated the theme to these lyrics. Seems fitting today.

Ditto me, Rainbow in 1983

Growing up!

Yep, Bungle, George and Zippy lost their appeal when I reached 24.

Very sad & bad news. Saw them in 79 & 80. In the five years between 76 & 81 Rush produced some of the most magnificent rock music ever made.

Seen Rush a few times and "The Professor" is the greatest rock drummer ever...
