THURSDAY, JAN. 16 No services scheduled AP Photo/Rich Fury, File This Aug. 1, 2015, file photo shows Neil Peart of Rush per- forming during the final show of the R40 Tour in Los An- geles. Peart, the renowned drummer and lyricist from the band Rush, has died. His rep Elliot Mintz said in a state- ment Friday that Peart died at his home Jan. 7, 2020, in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 67. Neil Peart, drummer for influential rockers Rush, dead at 67 like their favorite sports team should be celebrated as champions,” Peart told The Associated Press when Rush was inducted into the Rock Hall. “We always knew that was the case and certainly to see it blossom after this is a testament to the truth of that.” Peart was born on Sept. 12, 1952 in Ontario. When Rush formed in 1968, its original lineup included Lifeson, bass- ist Jeff Jones and drum- mer John Rutsey. After a few weeks, Lee replaced Jones, and in 1974 Peart replaced Rutsey weeks before Rush’s first U.S. tour. Rush’s first album with Peart — now the band’s principal song- writer — was 1975’s platinum-seller “Fly by Night.” They released a second album that same year, “Caress of Steel,” which reached gold status. But in 1976 the band marked a major break- through with the album “2112,” which sold three million units in the U.S. Rush’s most successful album was 1981’s “Mov- ing Pictures,” which sold four million cop- ies and featured the rock hit “YYZ,” helping the band earn its first-ever Grammy nomination (they earned seven nom- inations throughout their career). Rush’s 1990’s “Chron- icles” was a double plati- num success, while 11 of the band’s albums were certified platinum and 10 albums reached gold status. The band was heav- ily influential and fans of Peart and Rush paid trib- ute on social media. Associated Press SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Neil Peart, the renowned drummer and lyricist from the influen- tial Canadian band Rush, has died. He was 67. His representative, Elliot Mintz, said in a statement Friday that Peart died at his home Tuesday in Santa Mon- ica. The band posted a message on Twitter also confirming the news. “It is with broken hearts and the deep- est sadness that we must share the terrible news that on Tuesday our friend, soul brother and band mate over 45 years, Neil, has lost his incredi- bly brave three and a half year battle with brain cancer,” the band wrote. “Rest in peace brother.” Peart was revered for his drumming skills, but was also the band’s key songwriter, known for his fantastical lyrics. The respected musician placed fourth on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 Great- est Drummers of All Time, just behind Ginger Baker, Keith Moon and John Bonham. Peart, alongside band- mates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, were inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, and honored for combining “the signa- ture traits of progressive rock with a proto typi- cal heavy-metal sound.” Their most known songs include “Tom Sawyer,” “The Big Money” and “The Spirit of Radio.” “We’ve always said it’s not something that meant a lot to us, but we knew our fans cared so much to be validated like that — that their favorite band Greg’s Hermiston Sleep Center Sofas ‘n More JANUARY CLEARANCE Beds and Sofas for Less...
