In 2020, Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for Rush and one of rock’s greatest percussionists, died at 67, following a battle with brain cancer. Known for his technical prowess, Peart was revered for his epic live solos, which would often include unusual time signatures and complex arrangements. During their 50-year tenure, Rush became one of the most respected and musically dynamic bands of the prog-rock era, transcending genre and influencing multiple generations of artists, including Metallica, Iron Maiden, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nine Inch Nails. The Juno Award-winning band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994.
