Rush’s Geddy Lee Donates Autographed Bass to Charity Auction
While some of us might still like to think of the guys in Rush as being musical wizards who exist out of time, they're actually regular guys who enjoy regular guy things -- like baseball fan Geddy Lee, who had the honor of throwing out the first pitch at the Toronto Blue Jays' home opener on Tuesday (April 2).
Leave it to legendary Canadian band Rush to change things up even after all these years. After having performed live as a trio for the past 40-plus years, the group has brought a string section to join them on stage for their 'Clockwork Angels' world tour, and they are enjoying having the extra manpower on stage.
Rush releases their first studio album in five years today. 'Clockwork Angels' is a concept album that tells the story of a young man searching for truth and chasing his dreams in a strange world. In an interview released by Roadrunner Records, frontman and bassist Geddy Lee talks about the "steampunk aesthetic."
