With the passing of Neil Peart in 2020, the idea of Rush ever continuing seemed impossible. But time changes things, and it's given Geddy Lee the perspective to be open to going out and playing with guitarist Alex Lifeson again.
"It had been a taboo subject, and playing those songs again with a third person was the elephant in the room, and that kind of disappeared," Lee told The Washington Post. "It was nice to know that if we decide to go out, Alex and I, whether we went out as part of a new thing, or whether we just wanted to go out and play Rush as Rush, we could do that now."
