R.I.P. Neil Peart

Yep … bummer … 67 is way too young to die … I knew Neil was having health problems with tendonitis but this surprised me

Neil Peart, Rush Drummer Who Set a New Standard for Rock Virtuosity, Dead at 67

 

RIP
*edit*
*again*
Still full sadness

 

FARG!!!!!!
I just heard this now. Dammit. What a loss for everyone that knew and loved him.
R.I.P Neil. I wish I could send my condolences direct to his family.
That great gig in the sky just got a wicked drummer and an even better person.

 

Such a shame. Terrific drummer and interesting man. His arthritis was well-known, this cancer not at all. A private end and a great loss to music and Canadian culture.

 

Wasn't expecting that, Wow, just WOW!

For anyone who doesn't know, he has written a load of books & I understand they're quite interesting:

 

Gutted

 

RIP the master timekeeper. So sad.
Neil Peart, Drummer and Lyricist of Rush, Dead at 67

 

Oh dear, what a loss! Great drummer of a great band.

 

Mann...

 

Say it ain’t so

no drummer bashing today folks

 

Just saw this too.

I knew he had stepped out of touring but didn't know about the health issues he was dealing with.

He was a drummer beyond compare and by all accounts a fine human being. Peace to his family.

 

Too much. Sad, and beyond words.

Edit: I feel as though we lose a friend when musicians we admire and listen to for many many years die.

Thanks for the music, the concerts, the lyrics, the books, and the solos (about the only drum solos I could stand). Neil, I never met you, but you are an important part of my musical life. You will be missed, thank you for being 1/3 of the best band ever.

 

Is this real? Rush official hasn't released anything.

 

RIP, one of my lifelong inspirations...

 

R.I.P. Neil Peart

 

You're not wrong. Saw it already in 10 different places. R.I.P. oh great Neil.

 

Maybe he's up there with his daughter and wife now. Sad to see him go.

 

I just heard this too only 67! damn

 

There will never be another
