## Resource

Rush returns to the stage after eleven years with their Fifty Something Tour, opening in LA at the very venue where they last played with Neil Peart — a hauntingly symbolic reunion. Honoring Peart’s legacy, the band brings in Anika Nilles, a 43-year-old jazz-fusion drummer who channels Peart’s spirit while adding her own bold interpretation to classics like “Tom Sawyer” and “YYZ.” The shows are emotionally charged, featuring tribute videos and Peart’s own words, with Geddy Lee’s vocals on “Bravado” delivering raw grief and resilience. Geddy and Alex Lifeson, in peak form, defy age and expectation, proving Rush’s enduring power — a tour that mourns, celebrates, and moves forward through music.
