Today RollingStone.com posted a new interview with Alex Lifeson which
you can check out here. All the news stories surrounding Rush these days basically say the same thing, which is basically summed up by the following:
In addition to wanting to stay home with his family more, Peart
struggled with the physicality of touring on R40. "His shoulders were
hurting, his arms were hurting, his elbows, his feet, everything,"
Lifeson says. "He didn't want to play anything less than 100 percent. He
was finding it increasingly difficult to hit that mark on this last
tour. So, all those things combined, I get it. I'm disappointed and I
think Geddy [Lee] is very disappointed and we'd love to continue this
tour a little bit longer, but we're off now."...The guitarist has also been speaking with Peart occasionally since
the final tour date, and he reports that the drummer is "having a
wonderful time" and "very happy."
Looking forward to the future, Alex adds:
"Maybe next fall or something like that, we'll plan something. We took a
year off before the last tour and we didn't discuss anything about the
band or work, and everybody had a great time, and we came back from
that." He laughs. "We're getting older and it's getting tougher, but I
don't know. We'll see."
