One day after an interview surfaced where legendary drummer Neil Peart said that his daughter has been introducing him as a retired drummer, and thanks to numerous websites that blew the words up and caused hysterial in RUSH, lead singer/bassist Geddy Lee is clarifying.
Geddy Lee wants to make it clear that Peart is only retiring from touring. In a new quote given to Classic Rock, Lee says:
“There’s really nothing to say. I think Neil is just explaining his reasons for not wanting to tour, with the toll that it’s taking on his body. That’s all I would care to comment on it.
“We’ll get together eventually and chat about things. But in my view, there is certainly nothing surprising in what he said. Neil just feels that he has to explain with all the thousands of people asking, ‘Why no more tours?’ He needs to explain his side of it.”
So now that there is hope that the Holy Triumvirate has more stories to tell whether on records or on stage, lets take another look at a drum solo from the master.
