After Neil Peart's death in January 2020, RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson shared that many drummers immediately reached out wanting to audition for the legendary band. However, Lifeson firmly stated that RUSH will not continue with a new drummer, emphasizing the uniqueness of their chemistry with Peart. While he mentioned discussions with singer-bassist Geddy Lee about possibly making music again, he highlighted their strong friendship beyond the band. Lifeson enjoys their personal connection, engaging in charity work and casual meet-ups, focusing on their bond rather than just past musical endeavors.
After Neil passed, it didn't take more than a few minutes before we started getting e-mails from all kinds of drummers who wanted to audition for the band.
Honestly, Ged is my best friend. I talk to him - I must talk to him every day. We get together for dinner, we play tennis.
It's not just RUSH, RUSH, RUSH, RUSH, RUSH. I have a deep loving relationship with this man, and it's not all about creating something that we did from the past.
You never know what life brings you. Right now I'm super happy doing what I'm doing. I'm engaged with a lot of musical stuff.
