Lee commented:
“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil [Peart]. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we fucking miss it and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of Rush music. So in 2026 my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of Rush songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.
Yet life is full of surprises, and we’ve have been introduced to another remarkable person; an incredible drummer and musician who is adding another chapter to our story while continuing her own fascinating musical journey. Her name is Anika Nilles and we could not be more excited to introduce her to our loyal and dedicated Rush fanbase, whom, we know, will give her every chance to live up to that near impossible role. Before we hit the stage, we also hope to add another musician or two to expand our sound a wee bit and free up Alex and I, in order to show off some of our new fancy dance steps.
Lerxst, Anika and myself, along with many of our longstanding crew members have been hard at work rehearsing and designing the kind of Rush show you’ve grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate our history together.”
Neil Peart’s widow and daughter, Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, also added:
“We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist.
Neil’s musicianship was singular. Compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express. As both drummer and lyricist, he was irreplaceable. Inimitable in his artistry, and unmatched in the depth and imagination he brought to the lyrics that inspired and moved so many, he profoundly shaped how fans connected with him and the band, giving voice and meaning to their own lives.
As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”
Former Saliva singer Josey Scott is continuing to take aim at the band’s current frontman Bobby Amaru. His latest attack comes in the form of two new songs, “Who?” and “Famous.” You can check out both of those diss tracks below. Producer ScatteredBrains commented on “Who?”:
“Long time coming, about 15 yrs to be exact. The first single ‘Who?’ from @therealjoseyscott has arrived !!! I am beyond proud of this song and Josey for finding the strength to push back and push forward during a time where he’s being bullied out of his own god damn legacy, his creation, his band Saliva. Please listen, like, share and spread the message that there is only one real Saliva and that is with Josey at the driver seat. If the fans are ready, Josey’s ready to give yall that real shit like he never left !!! I know yall tired of watching a cover band play his music, we are too.”
Sepultura have confirmed that they will still be joined by drummer Greyson Nekrutman during their 2026 farewell tour. This news comes shortly after Trivium recruited Nekrutman for their fall tour. Sepultura commented:
“As many of you may already know, our drummer Greyson Nekrutman has temporarily joined our friends from Trivium as their drummer. In 2026, he’ll be back with Sepultura, resuming his place in the band as we continue our farewell tour. Stay tuned for new tour dates coming soon!”
Merauder have recruited Marc Rizzo (ex-Soulfly, ex-Ill Niño, etc.) as their new guitarist. This news comes as the band are preparing “to deliver an unforgettable year filled with new music, live performances, and more.”
Rizzo commented:
“Merauder is proud to officially welcome Marc Rizzo to the band. Widely recognized for his formidable contributions to Soulfly and Ill Niño, Marc brings a wealth of experience, technical mastery, and a commanding stage presence to the lineup.
With Marc now on board, we are excited to witness the powerful synergy between him and guitarist Kevin Mahon, alongside the dynamic rhythm section of Gabe Saldivar (bass) and Ely Castillo (drums). Together, they are set to begin working on new material that promises to push the boundaries of Merauder’s sound.
The lineup is now complete, featuring Jorge Rosado on vocals, Kevin Mahon and Marc Rizzo on guitars, Gabe “Biggz” Saldivar on bass, and Ely Castillo on drums. With 2026 on the horizon, Merauder is primed to deliver an unforgettable year filled with new music, live performances, and more.
Stay tuned for exciting updates as the band embarks on this new chapter. Big things are on the way.”
