Default RIP Neil Peart!

Best drummer out there! 1/3 of Rush, and a great human.

Sad day. Brain cancer

That's unfortunate to hear. Didn't realize he was fighting this.

Great band, great drummer.

Been watching Peart drum solos and listening to Rush since last night.

GOAT drummer.

Friend sent along this cool article about him:

sorry for the weird bump. Roughly the anniversary of his death, I've seen more than a few articles written about Neil lately.

Here is one

And here is another published today; an interview with Geddy about Neil
