Did anyone post the fact that the drummer for Rush passed away Neil Peart



Saw them on the Hocus Pocus tour...........................it was absolutely amazing.............and I just love this song..................




In an official statement, Rush instructed those looking to pay tribute to Peart to "choose a cancer research group or charity of their choice and make a donation in Neil’s name."

Rush drummer Neil Peart dies of brain cancer at 67: 'Rest in peace brother'

Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for Canadian progressive-rock titans Rush, has died. He was 67.

Rush announced on Twitter Friday that Peart died from brain cancer on Jan. 7 following a "incredibly brave three and a half year battle" with Glioblastoma, the same disease that killed senators John McCain and Edward Kennedy, and Beau Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden.

“It is with broken hearts and the deepest sadness that we must share the terrible news that on Tuesday our friend, soul brother and band mate of over 45 years, Neil, has lost his… battle with brain cancer (Glioblastoma)," tweeted the official account for Rush, which was composed of Peart, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.

The rock band added, "Rest in peace brother."
