Rush's Triumphant Return: New Drummer, Old Hits

On March 31st, Rush made their live comeback at Canada's Juno Awards on March 29th, with

Gettie Lee and Alex Lifeson joined by new drummer, Anika Nils.

It marked their first show in over a decade since Neil Perth passed away 10 years back.

The trio ripped into a high-energy set, honoring their legacy while pushing forward.

Gettie got real about it during the press conference, saying music outlives any hardship

and playing with someone as fresh and talented as Anika feels.

Like the perfect nod to Neil, he figured their old bandmate would dig the pick, maybe

even flash a sly grin and thumbs up from wherever he is.

Fans have been buzzing and the upcoming reunion tour has the guys overwhelmed in the best

way.

Gettie's pumped to hit spots they missed last time on the R40 tour, like Europe and South

America, finally giving those disappointed crowds what.

They've waited for.

They kicked off with Finding My Way, the opener from their debut album, attuned the hand-played

fully since 1974.

Picking it wasn't easy, they let it to management who nailed it with that throwback choice.

This reunion's got that timeless rushfire burning bright again, blending past tributes

with new rhythms ahead.
