Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has some painful personal experience with kidney disease, and he's using his celebrity to try and help get the word out about preventative measures.

Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson gave a marvelously memorable speech during the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction earlier this year, but bassist Geddy Lee now admits that he and drummer Neil Peart suffered a few misgivings while they were at the podium.

Russell "Skip" Gildersleeve, a longtime fixture on the concert scene who lent his skills as a road crew member and sound engineer to a long list of acts that included Bob Seger, Steely Dan, and Rush, has died at the age of 57.

Rush will release a remixed version of their 2002 album 'Vapor Trails' as well as a box set collecting all of their studio LPs for Atlantic Records in October. The new 'Trails' will also be included on the seven-disc box, which is titled 'The Studio Albums: 1989-2007.'

The video comes from Monday (July 1), Canada Day. Clark indicates he was paying tribute to Canadians everywhere with his unabashed version of the hit song.

We know Geddy Lee is a major baseball fan, but the guys in Rush took time to celebrate a different sport during their recent stop in Chicago.

If you see Rush in concert during their string of Canadian shows this summer, you won't just be treating yourself to some great live music -- you'll be helping a good cause in the bargain.

“Glad you could make it tonight, we have six to eight million songs or so to play for you,” Rush bassist, vocalist and all-around prankster Geddy Lee jokingly said, addressing a sold out Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Thursday night (May 9). Although he may have been exaggerating a bit, it summoned loud cheers from the crowd at the mere thought of it. When you have 19 albums under your bel

Fresh off this past Thursday's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rush won the Rock Album of the Year Juno award  for 'Clockwork Angels' last night in Regina, Saskatchewan. The group beat out alt.rockers Billy Talent, retro-rock band the Sheepdogs, the Tragically Hip and Big Wreck to walk away with the eighth Juno award of their career.
