Sad. Saw Rush 4 times ages ago when I was in High School. Not everyone's cup of tea, but man, were they unique and uncompromising.

 

[angelfish]

Tragic (with what he has gone through in life).

Glioblastoma is no joke.

this is just icing on a shitty cake for me. Big Peart fan.

I had two friends die Wednesday. Two on the same day. Went to a wake for one today, funeral tomorrow. Really messing me up.

I read it too. Ghost Rider right? Only one I know of.

Niel Peart is my wife's all time favorite musician, probably here favorite "celeb" ever. She was in tears over it.

She's seen them like 10 times in concert. I was lucky enough to see them once. He was extremely impressive.

I was not a big fan of theirs back then but I have come to recognize and appreciate their undeniable greatness.

I think Geddys voice tends push people away from the band but there is no denying the talent those 3 have

Peart is right there with Rich, Bonham , Moon and Baker as among the greatest ever
