Neil Peart says he’s not sure that Rush will come together for an anniversary tour this year. During a recent interview with Prog Magazine, the rocker explained that the main reason for holding off is so that he wouldn’t have to leave his five-year-old daughter Olivia behind. “It’s a true dilemma – there’s no right answer,” he began. “People say to me, ‘Are you still excited when you go on tour?’ Should I be excited about leaving my family? No, and no one should. It’s as simple as that. If you put aside the fantasy of it, it is what it is and has to be done. And that’s fine and I pour my entire energy and enthusiasm into it, but of course, I’m of two minds about the whole idea.” He adds that the time apart could do permanent damage to their relationship. “How can a small child process that? And there’s the guilt that comes with that – you feel guilty about it, of course. I’m causing pain.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
