Rush fans are getting more dates on their reunion tour!
The band has announced that they've added more shows to their upcoming tour, which knowing how much they love being on the road fans should not expect that this won't be the only additions.
After, mourning the death of Neil Peart, five years later Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are back together with additions to the band!
Rush made the announcement on their socials citing time as being a healer of their loss and the joy of playing the old songs is bringing them back together. The obvious question that comes with the announcement is who will play in Neil’s place. Unlike Led Zeppelin, who traditionally used Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, Peart doesn’t have a legacy that plays drums to fill the spot. And though, Tool’s Danny Carey did fill in, when the two played at the tribute for Taylor Hawkins tribute concert.
The band quickly answered the question with the announcement of Anika Nilles, who gained a following on YouTube with instructional and reaction videos, as well as two album releases of her own. Nilles has been playing with Lee and Lifeson in recent years as the two rehearsed together, so both found her to be the natural fit to take Neil’s place. The band also announced that there will be other additions to the band to make things more comfortable for the duo who will now be hitting the road in 2026!
Welcome back to The Kings!
