"My intent, before we got into this celebration of RUSH's history, was to put some music together,"
"Now, I assumed I would be doing that on my own, not with Alex, but when we started jamming, I started seeing the possibility of doing something with Alex - but all of that went on hold now because there's too much work. There's too much work to do for this tour to even think about that. But if we manage to survive the tour, and go back to Canada and have a rest, who knows what'll happen, but I suspect some music will eventually come out."
"Yeah, especially if Anika can still stand us! [Laughs] It would be fun to see what she can do in a creative situation. Like, that would be fun. But it's all speculation until it isn't."
Plans to create new Rush music began prior to the band's celebration of its history, initially envisioned as solo material. Jamming with guitarist Alex Lifeson revealed the possibility of collaborative new songs, but studio work is on hold due to the extensive workload required for the upcoming reunion tour. The plan is to reassess after completing the tour and taking a rest in Canada, with a strong likelihood that new music will eventually emerge. Drummer Anika Nilles could be included in future recordings, and her creative contributions are of interest. The 2026 North American tour runs from early June through mid-December.
