In a powerful tribute to one of rock’s most legendary drummers, Neil Peart’s family has thrown down the gauntlet—and it’s aimed straight at the heart of every RUSH tribute band across the globe. The mission? To rally together and raise funds for the creation of a breathtaking Neil Peart Memorial Statue at the iconic Lakeside Park in St. Catharines, Ontario—the very place immortalized in Peart’s lyrics and etched into the soul of RUSH fans everywhere.
This isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s a movement. A celebration. A chance to honor “The Professor” in the most fitting way possible: through music, community, and legacy. The memorial will feature two stunning bronze statues capturing Neil in both his youthful and seasoned brilliance, crafted by acclaimed sculptor Morgan MacDonald and infused with metal from Peart’s own cymbals2.
So, to every tribute band keeping the spirit of RUSH alive—this is your moment. Step up, play loud, and help build a monument worthy of the man whose rhythms moved the world.
Let the fundraising begin. Let the music echo. Let Neil’s legacy rise.
