“I wanted to bring the R40 show to everyone, but circumstances have made that impossible… I didn’t have a lump in my throat until the very last show”: Geddy Lee’s feelings when there was still an even chance of a new Rush album

.

Very few people wanted Rush’s R40 tour to finish. The 2015 road trip was disappointingly short, but that was a condition of drummer Neil Peart taking part at all. In fact, at the start, guitarist Alex Lifeson hadn’t been sure he wanted to do it. But just after it was over, and four years before Peart’s death made any kind of continuation impossible, bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee discussed his optimism about the band’s future.
