 Geddy Lee Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Geddy Lee has had a profoundly eventful week, blending music history, personal milestones, and some highly public moments. Just yesterday, Geddy hosted a signing event for his acclaimed new book 72 Stories at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, a poignant homecoming of sorts. According to Rush Is A Band, the event drew a crowd of around 500, with Lee discussing the significance of baseball’s history, his longtime support for the museum—the very institution where he’s already donated hundreds of autographed Negro League baseballs—and the inspiration behind his writing. Social media lit up with candid shots and messages from Geddy himself, especially on Instagram, where he paid tribute to the museum, its legendary players, and fans who turned out in force.

Just days before, Geddy and his Rush bandmate Alex Lifeson shook up the rock world with major news about their much-anticipated 2026 “Fifty Something” headline tour. BestClassicBands confirmed that Lee and Lifeson have now expanded the run to 60 shows, including multiple-night stands in cities with deep ties to the band’s story. This marks the first time the duo will share a stage for a full tour since their R40 finale back in 2015. The gravity of the reunion is apparent—not only are they celebrating half a century of Rush’s music, but they’re doing so while paying tribute to the legacy of their irreplaceable late drummer, Neil Peart.

Perhaps the most significant long-term development is the official introduction of a new drummer for Rush: Anika Nilles. As reported by Consequence and confirmed in several interviews, Nilles has taken on the formidable challenge of honoring Peart’s legacy. Geddy has been candid about the emotional difficulty of moving forward, acknowledging the daunting and heartfelt conversations he and Alex had before deciding it was time to play again. In a recent interview with CBC News, Geddy described secretive rehearsals with Nilles in Canada, emphasizing her technical prowess and positive attitude as essential for this new chapter.

Business is booming—not just on the touring front but in publishing, with Geddy’s books continuing to garner major interest. Interview highlights in Rolling Stone and The Globe and Mail see Lee previewing the new setlists and hinting at the possibility of touring into 2027, reflecting on the show dynamics and what keeps him motivated at this stage of his career.

Online, Geddy remains relatively low-key, with public posts focusing on event highlights and gratitude for his fans, according to Rush.com. His reserved presence on social media only amplifies the impact of each genuine post, and the news cycle has been buzzing all weekend about the enthusiastically received tour expansion and Saturday’s emotional book event.
