Most Rush fans knew that once Neil Peart passed, the band was essentially done. And they were. But now they’re not.
Geddy and Alex are billing this as the Rush Fifty Something Tour, to celebrate 50 plus years of Rush music, and honor their late bandmate Neil Peart.
But who could possibly fill Neil’s drummer shoes? Meet Anika Nilles. Anika is a 42 year old German drummer. That’s right, she was born when Rush was already a band for 14 years, and had just released Signals the year before. But she’s also a badass behind the kit! Check out her most watched video with over 4 million views on YouTube.
So if you want to see how Anika honors Neil when Rush tickets go on sale, register for the presale here, or grab them at the public on-sale here.
