The life and legacy of late Rush drummer Neil Peart will be celebrated in an upcoming new documentary set to air September 23rd on CBC. An internationally revered drummer who influenced numerous generations, Peart sadly died at the age of 67 in 2020 following a lengthy battle against brain cancer. This new documentary, ‘Neil Peart: No One’s Disciple‘, has the backing of the band and a number of Peart‘s peers.
Intimate performances with Rush‘s surviving duo of vocalist/bassist, etc. Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson were filmed for this doc, complete with Tool‘s Danny Carey, Red Hot Chili Peppers‘s Chad Smith and The Police‘s Stewart Copeland behind the kit. Banger Films, who also worked with Rush on other projects, were again involved with this new doc.
Rush have since gone on to regroup, returning to the road this year for an ongoing reunion run that has seen Anika Nilles behind the kit in place of Peart.
