Wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time
❤️ Rest In Peace

It is unbelievably sad to hear that my favorite drummer of all time, Neil Peart, has left us. Very hard to find words to properly express the level of inspiration & influence he had on so so many musicians. He will forever remain at the top of my list.

It was just myself & Neil PEart alone talkin & laughing low in relief the long night was over-a small table backstage sharing a unique moment without much word. Rest in Beats my man
— Chuck D (@MrChuckD) January 10, 2020I was 19 year old when I first learned about Rush. Being a bassist/vocalist, I was fascinated by Geddy Lee, but being a songwriter & particularly a lyricist, Neil Peart had my attention. I was a fan. He was a legend, an inspiration, & an example on how to live life. #RIPNeilPeart pic.twitter.com/IjXC7lAICU
