Geddy Lee is defending his decision to tour as Rush after previously insisting that the surviving members would never tour under the famous moniker again.
During a recent conversation with Classic Rock, the musician acknowledged that he and Alex Lifeson agreed that the band was only Rush if the late Neil Peart was in it. However, the decision to perform under Rush comes as they’ll be playing dozens of songs by the band. Lee said it wasn’t an easy decision but admitted that it felt “silly” to go on as “Lee and LIfeson Present The Music Of…”
Rush will be paying tribute to Peart during the upcoming “Fifty Something” reunion tour, which kicks off this June.
