Dead at 67 from Brain Cancer. He was the greatest drummer who has yet to live, IMO. Considering the pain he had suffered in life, I hope he is finally at peace.

I think I'll be blasting every single concert I own of Rush's this weekend if anyone wants to join!

Oh man, wow. I didn't even know he was sick. One of, if not the greatest drummers in history. We, very sad news.

He's been an extremely private man since he lost his family in the 90's - where he almost retired. Spent 6 months motorcycling North and Central America.

Sad news indeed. He definitely had a big part in shaping music as it is today. He’ll be missed.

I didn't know much about him other than what a great drummer he was. Very sad news.

Neil was definitely a very gifted and talented individual. He will be missed by rock fans and many others. He may be gone now, but he will never be forgotten. RIP my friend.

Enjoyed your work. RIP Neil...

Rush is suggesting that anyone who wants to express themselves further may donate to any cancer charity in Neil's name.

I'm sitting here brokenhearted right now.

Right there with ya. Just played thru Exit Stage Left DVD, and it didn't change my feeling much....

My drums cried. I did too.

Sad indeed, one of the great prog rock drummers of our time.

My favorite musician of all time. I don't play anything like him but he's been a big influance on my playing. A huge sadness fell over me yesterday when the news broke of his death.

RIP Neil and Thank you...

The outpouring of respect on the radio and social media has been awesome. A college basketball announcer worked a Rush lyric into the broadcast. I heard that NBC played a song going into a break during a football game. Twitter has been chock full of responses to Neil's passing. WMMR in Philly had a 3.5 hour tribute show to him yesterday.

Just great to see so many paying respect.

What a beautiful thing.

Really sad, he was still young.

I was really happy how much Rush the radio stations played all weekend. I mean they were doing multiple hour tributes. Just awesome. If you're a Rush fan

Glad I saw this! Yes indeed very sad. I want to say I saw them 4 times. Both the Presto and Roll the Bones tours. Neil Peart progressed both Acoustic and Electronic drumming.
