What? This sucks! Supposedly he died on the 7th.

If you know his story, he lost his college age daughter (car accident) and his wife (cancer) within a year. Found love again, and has a young daughter. Only 67.

RIP.

That blasted “C” word again! Sad to hear this – more talent lost.

You be safe, Brucebubs. Wishing you the best!

Sad day indeed . My Favorite band . As mentioned Neil had a lot tragedy in he's life . I can't imagine what the family is going through along with Alex and Geddy.
Wow I'm totally bummed out .
If I had beers going I'd probably be wipeing tears . ☹️

My favorite drummer of all time!
Was at a show last night, all women tribute band, Black Sabitch, when the young lady drummer announced his passing and how he inspired her to become a drummer.
I was shocked to hear of his passing!

Such a shame. What a monster drummer. I made me really happy that my son's friends who were learning drums still idolized him.

Rush will never get out of my head, some of my earliest riffs on the electric were Tom Sawyer, Working Man, etc, before I went back further to the Beano album and further.
