Alex Lifeson Rules Out Rush Reunion Plans

Alex Lifeson has confirmed that while he continues to enjoy weekly jam sessions with former Rush bandmate Geddy Lee, there are no plans for a Rush reunion. Lifeson emphasized that the essence of Rush, which included their late drummer Neil Peart, cannot be replicated, stating he would prefer to be remembered for the band's legacy rather than reuniting as a 'top Rush tribute band.' He reflected on the excitement of performing at tribute concerts for Taylor Hawkins in 2022 but acknowledged that the thrill of those performances faded over time. Lifeson highlighted that after a successful final tour in 2015, he feels Rush concluded on a high note. In addition to jamming, Lifeson is focused on his new band, Envy of None, which will release an album in March 2025. Overall, while Lifeson and Lee maintain their friendship through music, they seem content with the past rather than pursuing a revival of their iconic band.
