How Taylor Hawkins’ Loss of life Impacts Potential Rush Reunion

Geddy Lee defined how the demise of Taylor Hawkins affected the prospect of a reunion with former Rush colleague Alex Lifeson.

The Canadian band – which ended with the 2020 passing of Neil Peart – had a powerful reference to the Foo Fighters drummer, who helped induct them into the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame in 2013. In a brand new episode of Home of Strombo (out there beneath), bassist Lee referred to Hawkins’ demise when requested about working with guitarist Lifeson once more.

“It’s weighing time,” Lee stated. “If I’ve realized something from the horrible issues which have occurred in the previous couple of years, it’s the worth of time, and to be sure to’re spending your time the best way you wish to spend it. And that’s an even bigger query than whether or not Al and I’ll make a file, or Al and I’ll play collectively, or no matter. It’s bought to be about our time and our lives as a result of it’s treasured. And, man, it goes.”

He continued: “Take a look at what simply occurred with Taylor. Heartbreaking, simply heartbreaking. That basically broke my coronary heart, his passing… He was so stuffed with admiration and rock ’n’ roll pleasure juice, and it simply appears unsuitable that he left us. So once more, time.”

Neither Lee nor Lifeson have made a dedication to reuniting, though it hasn’t been dominated out. Requested within the new interview: “While you two lastly play collectively, will you file it?” Lee replied light-heartedly: “I don’t know. We’ll see.”

Rush simply launched a fortieth anniversary version of traditional album Transferring Photos.
