RUSH singer-bassist Geddy Lee isn’t ruling out new music from the band, but says any work in the studio will have to wait until after the legendary prog-rock act’s upcoming reunion tour.
In an interview with Music Radar (as transcribed by the Rush Is a Band blog), Lee spoke about the possibility of creating new songs with guitarist Alex Lifeson and new drummer Anika Nilles, who will be filling the legendary shoes of the late Neil Peart on RUSH’s forthcoming “Fifty Something” tour.
“My intent, before we got into this celebration of RUSH’s history, was to put some music together,” said Lee. “Now, I assumed I would be doing that on my own, not with Alex, but when we started jamming, I started seeing the possibility of doing something with Alex — but all of that went on hold now because there’s too much work. There’s too much work to do for this tour to even think about that. But if we manage to survive the tour, and go back to Canada and have a rest, who knows what’ll happen, but I suspect some music will eventually come out.”

When asked if Nilles would be included in any new music, Lee responded, “Yeah, especially if Anika can still stand us! [Laughs] It would be fun to see what she can do in a creative situation. Like, that would be fun. But it’s all speculation until it isn’t.”
RUSH’s extensive 2026 North American tour will kick off in early June, and run all the way through mid December. Tickets are available here.
