An all-star tribute to Neil Peart is coming up this weekend
If you’re a Rush fan, you’ll want to reserve some time Saturday night for a special tribute event dedicated to Rush’s Neil Peart.
The event, which will benefit brain tumor research at Cedar-Sinai Medical Centre in LA, will be part of the Modern Drummer Festival. Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, and Stewart Copeland of The Police will be part of the festivities. In fact, this will be a gathering of drumming royalty.
