Very sad indeed. He had battled brain cancer for nearly 3 years. He lived a very private life. I was fortunate enough to see Rush a few times over the years, the first time being '77 or '78 on the "A Farewell to Kings" tour. Neal was an amazing drummer who used every drum, cymbal, and any other percussion piece he had available. R.I.P. Neal

If ever given the chance. Get a copy of Neil's book "Ghost Rider". Its a tale of a mans triumph over tragedy and puts life into perspective.

Knew Rush when they were still a bar band in the early 70's. They did a couple Friday night dances at our high school. Back then I don't think Neil was their drummer. RIP.
I just never got Rush ...

A monumental amount of sound for just 3 guys.

45 years, many albums, countless fans and a unique sound that was unmistakable.....what's not to get?

Non conformists in rock and roll, lyrically, and in sound regardless of popularity.

Very shitty loss. I’ve seen them about ten times, owned every album. Love him or not, that guy rewrote the rules. I’ll be forever indebted to him and the rest of Rush for making it ok to be a f***n weirdo.
A great and talented man.
And thank you, Mr. Peart. Cross the River Styx. Your loved ones await you.
