このコンテンツについて
In the past few days Geddy Lee has been making waves across the music world with news that is both historic and deeply personal. The most significant development is the formal announcement of Rush’s “Fifty Something” tour for 2026. This marks the first time Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have toured together in over a decade since the emotional finale at the Forum in Los Angeles back in 2015. Following the heartbreaking passing of Neil Peart, many thought Rush would never return to the stage. But after ten years of reflection and a groundswell of fan support, Geddy and Alex have boldly chosen to celebrate over fifty years of RUSH music in cities that are meaningful to the band’s incredible legacy, with major headlines across outlets like Best Classic Bands and Rush.com confirming dozens of sold-out dates and an expanding itinerary.
Perhaps the boldest move is their decision to bring drummer Anika Nilles into the fold. Geddy told CBC News they were initially cautious, secretly trialing rehearsals in Canada, but Nilles, recommended by his bass tech and known for her precision playing with Jeff Beck, quickly proved she could step into the nearly impossible role left by Peart. Lee has been candid about the challenge of “replacing the irreplaceable,” telling Consequence that Anika’s work ethic and positive energy made all the difference in the decision to resume touring.
Tour structure is also making news. Instead of the physically punishing multi-hour shows of the past, Geddy explained in a Rush is a Band interview that the new shows will be mini-residencies, at over two hours each, with heavily rotated setlists of nearly thirty-five songs—a throwback and a celebration. The intention is to create a traveling event that balances the legacy of Rush with the realities of his and Alex’s ages, aiming more for depth and connection than marathon endurance.
On the public appearance front, Geddy recently held a major book signing at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City for his new release, "72 Stories from the Collection of Geddy Lee." He posted heartfelt reflections and photos on Instagram, thanking fans and highlighting the power of both baseball and music to bring people together. This event was covered by Kansas City local news and further underscores Geddy’s drive to blend his passions for music, baseball, and storytelling.
Business-wise, Lee’s partnership with Henderson Brewing continues, and Rush-branded beer remains in demand. While Geddy is not a big fan of social media, as noted on Rush.com, he made a rare exception to thank fans for the overwhelming response to the tour and to answer selected Twitter questions this week, focusing mostly on baseball and music-related curiosities.
As always, Geddy Lee stands as both an innovator and a custodian of rock’s rich tradition. From returning to the stage with a new lineup to celebrating his legacy through books and public outreach, every move is watched closely by fans and industry insiders alike.
