Rush rumblings December 1, 1999 Rush drummer Neil Peart has once again picked up his drumsticks following a pair of personal tragedies over the last two years. Though he has yet to join forces with bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, the trio does have plans to record a new studio album in the year 2000. However, word has it that they plan to no longer tour. The band has also delayed the release of the companion DVD to their most recent live album, Different Stages, until sometime in the new year.
