As they get set to launch their reunion tour next month, Geddy Lee explained why they felt the need to do so: “In the back of my heart, it’s felt like unfinished business, like we owed (late drummer Neil Peart) a proper thank you and a celebration.” Lee and Alex Lifeson credit their participation in the 2022 Taylor Hawkins tribute shows with planting the idea of them returning to the road without Peart.
