Just heard that Neil Peart died on Tuesday from brain cancer. 67 years old. Said he'd been fighting it for three years. Confirmed by the band.

F*ck. Just f*ck. F*ck cancer.

This hits hard - Rush is one of my favorite bands, and Neil Peart was my favorite drummer.

RIP, sir. And thank you.
 
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers

Way too young. Godspeed to you sir.

Such sad news. :( Every time a great musician dies I am completely shocked. That he may rest in peace.
 
Ugh, such sad news! But also so thankful for all the great music - RIP Neil.
 
I'm just totally stunned and shocked. I find it interesting that we never heard he was even sick, but that seems fitting for a man who valued his privacy.
Neil, thanks for the words, the music and the books. Life is little grayer today...
 
This is devastating news. Since 2112 this band has changed my appreciation for music and inspiring lyrics shaped my life. His lyrics seem to cover everything when I was growing up and into an older adult.

since 1983 I’ve never missed seeing them live on tour. The greatest shows, so inspirational. Neil Peart you will be missed RIP
 
All the greats are getting to the age where this is just happening much too often.
