It's March 30th. Welcome in. This is Music News Today, where music meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Russia's Getty Lee and Alex Lyssen just rocked the Juno Awards in Hamilton, Ontario. On March 29th, debuting live with their new touring, drummer Anika Nils. They surprised everyone by opening with, finding my way, the lead track of their 1974 debut album. The keyboardist Lauren Gold jumped in too, rounding out the lineup for this big moment. They went with that opener because picking from their massive catalog felt impossible. So management suggested the first song from the first record. Is their first official shows under the rush name in 11 years, kicking off in June at the key of form in Los Angeles, where they wrapped their last tour? Real part, the band's legendary drummer passed away in January 2020 at 8.67 after fighting brain cancer. Fans and musicians worldwide poured out grief when the news hit three days later, marking

a tough chapter for rock history. Now the 50-something tour is exploding for 2026, ballooning from 22 dates to 58 across 24 cities in Canada, the US and Mexico. Over half a million tickets gone already, with sellouts forcing more ads. They just tacked on South America and Europe for early 2027 first Europe stents since 2013, South America in 17 years. Picture 24 evening with. Shows in 13 countries, two sets per night pulling from over 40 songs, keeping it fresh every time. Brush his back, rebuilding the fire.
