Rush was a Canadian rock band that formed in Toronto in 1968. The original lineup consisted of guitarist Alex Lifeson, bassist and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, and drummer John Rutsey. However, Rutsey left the band in 1974 and was replaced by Neil Peart, who would become one of the most celebrated and influential drummers in rock history.

Rush's music was characterized by virtuosic musicianship, intricate arrangements, and a distinctive blend of hard rock, progressive rock, and heavy metal. Their lyrics often explored philosophical and sci-fi themes, as well as social and political issues. Rush's music was also known for its use of synthesizers and electronic effects, which became more prominent in their later albums.

Throughout their career, Rush released 19 studio albums and numerous live recordings, selling over 40 million records worldwide. Their most successful albums include "2112" (1976), "Moving Pictures" (1981), and "Signals" (1982). Some of their most popular songs include "Tom Sawyer," "The Spirit of Radio," and "Limelight."

In 2018, the band announced that they were retiring from touring due to Peart's declining health, and in January 2020, Peart passed away after a battle with brain cancer. Despite the band's retirement and the loss of Peart, Rush's music continues to be beloved by fans around the world and is widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative bands in the history of rock music.
