Rush's Geddy Lee reflects on music and life in new memoir

Season 2023 Episode 359 | 7m 24s

The Canadian band Rush achieved big success across 40 years, from the 70s into the 2000s, driven by musicianship and eclectic, lyrical content. After the death of drummer Neil Peart in 2020, singer and bass guitarist Geddy Lee stepped away from the stage. But he has returned in a spoken word tour to accompany a new memoir. Lisa Desjardins spoke with him for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
