Neal Peart has passed.

Goodbye to the greatest drummer ever, thanks for the music.

I don't usually cry when celebrities die, but this time I actually did. Rush has been such a huge part of my musical journey

Really sad. Rush marked my beginning of 70s prog rock exploration five years ago, and I'm still loving the albums that I have (2112 to Moving Pictures).

I'm not really used to the passing away of artists that had some kind of impact on me. I mean, main songwriter of a band's golden age? That's not that common for the bands that I like. The only other example I can think of was Andre Matos.

Sad day

Such a talent and icon.

RUSH's Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have thanked everyone who has paid tribute to Neil Peart.
Peart died on January 7 in Santa Monica, California after a three-year battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. The iconic RUSH drummer was 67 years old. The band announced his passing on January 10, setting off shockwaves and an outpouring of grief from fans and musicians all over the world.
On Friday (January 17), Lee and Lifeson took to social media to write: "Our most heartfelt thanks go out to family, friends, musicians, writers and fans from around the globe for the incredible outpouring of love and respect for Neil since his passing. These touching tributes help to lessen the pain of this terrible loss and remind us all to celebrate his remarkable life and our connections to it."
RUSH's final show took place at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 1, 2015. Peart indicated at the time that he wanted to retire while he was still able to play well, along with a desire to spend more time at home with his young daughter.

Well the drummer for April Wine could fill in... that dude was a great drummer!

I wonder if there are Christians that reach out to the old rock guys to try and get them to get born again and repent of their evil ways so they don't all end up in eternal flames?

Seems like that ought to be a ministry for some older music guys

I read here that Ken Tamplin did meet with Dio before his death. Hopefully he was able to reach him and convince him to find the Lord before he died.
