Could Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson reunite for Rush’s 50th anniversary next year?

Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the release of Rush’s debut album.  Now one of Alex Lifeson’s current bandmates has speculated on the Rush guitarist reuniting with Geddy Lee in 2024.

After the Passing of drummer Neil Peart back in 2020.  fans had feared that  Neil Peart’s death also marked the end of the band.  Through the last few years, there have been rumors of Lifeson and Lee reuniting to work on new music, with neither of them ruling it out while also rejecting the idea that something was underway.

In a new interview with Rock Music History Youtube Channel, Andy Curran, a bandmate of  Lifeson in Envy of None, was asked what he thought about a potential reunion. “I’m going to answer in two ways,” Curran said. “I’m going to say [that] I hope they do, as a Rush fan. I hope those boys do because I see that there’s a lot of race left in both of those horses. Those guys are extremely creative guys…I would be shocked if they didn’t do something together; that’s maybe the hopeful side of me.”

He went on to say: “But I do know that Geddy is spending a lot of time [on other projects]… he’s just announced the release of his book, his memoirs; he’s got a TV show that he’s working on. Alex is an avid golfer, and I think that the boys are enjoying the time away from that very sort of write-tour-record-tour, rinse, and repeat.”

Since the pair were enjoying “being their own guys with a bit of freedom,” though, Curran said he didn’t think a reunion was imminent but he added: “The interesting thing is the 50th anniversary of [debut album] Rush next year. So I think if there’s ever going to be a time, then we might see something happening next year.”
