Geddy Lee on Final Tour Push | Music News

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are pouring every ounce of energy into their triumphant return after an 11-year hiatus, racing against time to perfect their reunion with new drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold. With just 14 months to prep—feeling like a sprint by the end—they’ve pushed themselves to unprecedented limits, including 24 out of 27 days of full shows in the final month. Nilles, tasked with mastering 43 songs to replace Neil Peart’s legendary drumming, trained intensely before diving into Toronto’s intensive rehearsals, where live chemistry helped solidify complex, unconventional rhythms. Though nerves lingered on opening night, the band’s cohesion and electrifying performance have left them all thrilled—and deeply aware that these moments are fleeting. Geddy is savoring every note, knowing his time is limited, and for now, there’s no talk of new music—just flawless execution of what they’ve got.
