Neil Peart

It is with broken hearts and the deepest sadness that we must share the terrible news that on Tuesday our friend, soul brother and band mate of over 45 years, Neil, has lost his incredibly brave three and a half year battle with brain cancer (Glioblastoma). We ask that friends, fans, and media alike understandably respect the family’s need for privacy and peace at this extremely painful and difficult time. Those wishing to express their condolences can choose a cancer research group or charity of their choice and make a donation in Neil Peart’s name. Rest in peace brother. Neil Peart September 12, 1952 – January 7, 2020

As a drummer Peart was always a person that was always very dear to my heart. He was a pioneer in the drummer world. RIP, legend.

Drum solo on Tom Sawyer is legendary. He went through a lot...lost his wife and daughter, then got cancer. He wrote all their lyrics and needs to be up there with rock heroes like Clapton, Van Halen, Page, Bonham, etc.
