Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson says that he hasn't been interested in music since Neil Peart died in January
“After Neil passed in January, I’ve played very little guitar. I just don’t feel inspired and motivated.”
Rush fans have speculated that Lifeson and Rush frontman Geddy Lee might find a way to carry on the band’s legacy after Peart’s death, but the guitarist says they aren’t at that point yet. “I don’t know if the motivation is there for us to really do anything now,” he said. “We’re certainly proud of our track record, and we still love music. But it’s different now.”
The band last toured in 2015 as a celebration of the band’s 40th anniversary. Lifeson and Lee inducted Yes into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 and performed separately that night, but they have largely stayed away from the stage. Lee released a book in 2018,Lifeson says he feels the same way he did after Peart’s teenage daughter died in a 1997 car accident and Peart’s wife died from cancer a few months later. “I didn’t really play for about a year [after that],” he said.
