:(
gonna play me some Rush
That's terrible news. :(
...
Damn, RIP
Damn, an irreplaceable genius gone. :(
That band were the soundtrack to my teenage years.
Haven't found a good obituary yet, just this item on the metro:
https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/10/neil-peart-legendary-rush-drummer-dies-aged-67-three-year-brain-cancer-battle-12039423/ (https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/10/neil-peart-legendary-rush-drummer-dies-aged-67-three-year-brain-cancer-battle-12039423/)
But knowing the BBC obituary chap, I think he'll have a good one posted to the BBC News website in a while or by the weekend's end.
Apparently he died on Tuesday, but they didn't announce it until today.
RIP :(
Sad to hear, love me some Rush, especially 2112!

I guess if Rocky gets a statue in Philadelphia this makes sense. :)
