After nearly a decade of silence, Rush — one of the most influential progressive rock bands in history — is officially returning for one final, emotional world tour. Aptly titled “The Last Light: A Farewell to Neil,” the tour will pay tribute to the band’s late drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart, whose passing in 2020 left a profound void in the rock world.

For fans, this isn’t just another reunion. It’s a heartfelt goodbye.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, the remaining members of Rush, have confirmed that this tour will celebrate not only Peart’s genius but also the unbreakable bond the trio shared for over four decades. “This isn’t about trying to recreate the past,” Lee said in a recent interview. “It’s about celebrating Neil — his words, his drumming, his spirit. We owe him this, and we owe it to the fans who grew up with us.”

The tour will feature a rotating lineup of guest drummers, each handpicked by Lee and Lifeson to honor Peart’s legacy — including Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Taylor Hawkins Jr., and Danny Carey (Tool) among others. Each performance promises a unique tribute, blending live visuals, archival footage of Peart, and Rush’s timeless catalog — from “Tom Sawyer” to “The Spirit of Radio.”
