Rush drummer Neil Peart has passed

My favorite drummer of all time and ironically, I was just watching some live performances on YouTube today of Rush. Sad day for music.

Oh, no....

My favorite drummer as well. I knew they decided to put an end to Rush, but I didn't realize that he was suffering from brain cancer. Such a smart man that was driven to always improve his craft and had so much tragedy in his life.

RIP

Sad indeed.

Sad day

I doubt anyone outside of immediate family and friends knew. He seemed to be a very private individual.

Yeah, in hindsight it makes a lot of sense for why Rush decided to hang it up.

Another cool interview:

"Extroverts don't understand introverts."

So sad to hear. One of my favorite drummers if nothing else for all my other favorite drummers that he inspired.

A sort of tribute:

I hope he has found eternal peace, and is clutching Selena and Jackie at this moment.

He was a truly amazing musician, and will continue to inspire others forever.
