RUSH Drummer NEIL PEART Passes Away At The Age Of 67 By Larry Petro, News Monkey Friday, January 10, 2020 @ 2:00 PM
According to a story on Rolling Stone, Peart had evidently been "quietly battling" brain cancer for the past 3 years.
Peart joined RUSH in 1974 along with his bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson and became the band's chief lyricist. They would go on in the ensuing years to release 19 studio albums, garnering 24 gold records, 14 platinum records and sales in excess of 40 million worldwide. RUSH capped their final tour in 2015, after which Neil retired from the road to spend time with his family.
A statement posted to the band's Facebook page reads as follows:
****"It is with broken hearts and the deepest sadness that we must share the terrible news that on Tuesday our friend, soul brother and band mate of over 45 years, Neil, has lost his incredibly brave three and a half year battle with brain cancer (Glioblastoma). We ask that friends, fans, and media alike understandably respect the family’s need for privacy and peace at this extremely painful and difficult time. Those wishing to express their condolences can choose a cancer research group or charity of their choice and make a donation in Neil Peart's name.
Rest in peace brother.
Neil Peart September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020"****
He is survived by his wife Carrie Nuttal, and daughter Olivia.
