Sadly they never came to Australia.....
Same for me. His passing has affected me over the weekend more than I would have imagined. Found myself watching some of the rare interviews he did. Such a gifted, intelligent but down to earth guy. And so resilient in the way he bounced back after the loss of his daughter and first wife. You’d have thought life had dealt him enough jokers without brain cancer to contend with in his final hand, having remarried and with a young daughter.I have never felt this level of sadness for the passing of any other musician.
A band I have listened to since the late 70's.
The band whose music has featured on my stereo systems more than any other band and the only band which I have bought every one of their albums.
Neil has pretty much written the soundtrack of my life. Sadly they never came to Australia.....
really, that does surprise me , almost 50 years of Rush and they never set foot in Australia,I wonder why

But so good to see how well liked he and Rush were as people in an industry so full of egos and sycophants. The reception they received when they were inducted into the RocknRoll Hall of Fame and their respective acceptance speeches were both heart warming and hilarious - worth a watch if you haven’t see them.
Anyway, I shall be continuing my nostalgic trip through the Rush back catalogue over the coming days and my thoughts will remain with his band members and family at this very sad time.
