Next year marks the 50th anniversary of Rush‘s self-titled debut album.
While no celebration has been announced, Andy Curran, who plays with Alex Lifeson in Envy of None, and is former A&R manager with Anthem Records, founded by Rush manager Ray Danniels, was asked by Rock History Music if he see Alex and Geddy Lee working together again.
“I’m going to answer that in two ways. I’m going to say, I hope they do [reunite] as a Rush fan. I hope those boys do because I see that there’s a lot of race left in both of those horses. Those guys are extremely creative guys… I would be shocked if they didn’t do something together; that’s maybe the hopeful side of me.
“I think [they are] enjoying being their own guys with a bit of freedom right now, so I don’t think it’s [the reunion and recording new music] imminent… But the interesting thing is the 50th anniversary of Rush is next year, so I think if there’s ever going to be a time, then we might see something happening next year…
“I do know that Geddy is spending a lot of time and has just announced the release of his book, his memoirs; he’s got a TV show that he’s working on. Alex is an avid golfer, and I think that the boys are enjoying the time away from that very sort of ‘write-tour-record-tour, rinse and repeat’ [cycle].”
Geddy’s memoir, My Effin’ Life, will be published on November 14th.
