When drummer Neil Peart died in January 2020, so did his band, Rush. But frontman Geddy Lee says he hasn’t ruled out a future reunion with his other bandmate, Alex Lifeson.

“I could not imagine playing music after Neil passed,” Lee explains. “I was in a band with the same people for almost 45 years and just to turn around and continue to do it with another person in the hot seat just felt wrong to me.”

But that doesn’t mean things won’t change in the future, Lee adds. “I do believe there’s a future for writing music with Al again,” he says. “And if we like it, we’ll release it. But it all remains to be seen. Because if I’ve learned one thing in the last ten years, I’ve learned that life is impossible to predict. But I’m hopeful, so I remain hopeful.”
