ROCKSTAR Geddy Lee has teased a Rush reunion three years on from the death of his bandmate Neil Peart.
The legendary rock group, originally consisting of Alex Lifeson, Jeff Jones and John Rutsey, shot to fame in the late 60s.
Jeff was soon replaced by Geddy Lee, and then in 1974 Neil Peart joined the band when John left.
Some of Rush’s best known songs include Tom Sawyer, 2112, and Closer To The Heart.
Over the years they’ve released 19 studio albums, including their debut Rush, 2112, and their most recent Clockwork Angels.
Fans of the iconic trio were convinced that they’d never get back together after Neil passed away from brain cancer in 2020.
However last year Geddy and Alex returned to the stage to celebrate Foo Fighter drummer Taylor Hawkin’s life at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert.
The pair performed alongside Foo Fighters’ Dave Grhol, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith and Omar Hakin, as well as Tool‘s Danny Carey.
Speaking about the performance with The Washington Post, Geddy said: “It had been a taboo subject.
“And playing those songs again with a third person was the elephant in the room, and that kind of disappeared.”
He added: “It was nice to know that if we decide to go out, Alex and I, whether we went out as part of a new thing, or whether we just wanted to go out and play Rush as Rush, we could do that now.”
It comes after he insinuated that Rush had no plans to reunite during a chat with Rolling Stone in 2021.
“That’s finished, right? That’s over,” Geddy said.
“I still am very proud of what we did.
“I don’t know what I will do again in music.
” And I’m sure Al doesn’t, whether its together, apart, or whatever. But the music of Rush is always part of us.”
