In a recent interview with Louder Sound, Geddy Lee revealed new details about Paul McCartney’s enthusiasm for a potential Rush reunion.
The interviewer addressed McCartney’s involvement after the Wembley show. “Even he was trying to get the band back together after Wembley.”
“He was!” Lee responded. “He was so enthusiastic after our show. He was like our biggest promoter. He was trying to convince Alex to go back on the road.”
The conversation about a potential reunion emerges at a significant moment in Rush’s history. The band is approaching several meaningful milestones.
Reports from AXS TV indicate that Rush’s final tour, known as R40 Live Tour, concluded in 2015. The tour’s scope was limited to North America due to drummer Neil Peart’s health issues.
An announcement on Rush’s official website reveals the upcoming release of ‘RUSH 50.’ This career-spanning anthology will launch on March 21, 2025, marking five decades of musical excellence.
The anthology release marks the first major collaborative project between Lee and Lifeson since their last performance together. This project highlights the ongoing creative connection between the remaining members.
The enthusiasm from influential figures like Paul McCartney showcases Rush’s lasting impact on fellow musicians. This continues even as band members explore individual projects and reflect on their shared legacy.
