Rush, the iconic Canadian rock band formed in 1968, is renowned for their innovative fusion of progressive rock and hard rock. The classic lineup of Geddy Lee (bass, vocals, keyboards), Alex Lifeson (guitar), and Neil Peart (drums, lyrics) propelled the band to international acclaim. Their 1976 album "2112" epitomizes their conceptual artistry, while 1981's "Moving Pictures" features enduring hits like "Tom Sawyer" and "YYZ." With over 40 million records sold worldwide, Rush's influence spans generations. In 2026, Lee and Lifeson will reunite for the "Fifty Something" tour, joined by acclaimed drummer Anika Nilles, honoring Peart's legacy and celebrating their storied career.
