Rush drummer Neil Peart died in January 2020 in Santa Monica, California after a three-year battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer. He was 67 years old. Peart joined the band in 1974—which already featured vocalist/bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson—and quickly became the group's primary lyricist in addition to his prolific prowess behind the kit. Rush's final show took place at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 1, 2015, and Lee and Lifeson have not performed as Rush since Peart's death.
Rush put out what would be their final album Clockwork Angels in 2012, and definitively ended as a band with the death of drummer Neil Peart in 2020. Though guitarist Alex Lifeson said in a recent interview that he's not opposed to making new music with his Rush bandmate Geddy Lee.
"We're not putting any pressure on it or anything. We had a lot of good years together and we still love each other very much. I talk to Geddy every other day – we're best friends. There's more to our life together than just writing music. So if it happens, it happens. And it'll happen when it happens."
