The virtuoso drummer and lyricist

for Canadian prog-rock giants Rush

died on January 7th. ROLLING STONE is

covering this tragic loss extensively,

with new tributes including senior

music editor Hank Shteamer’s essay

on the intricacies of Peart’s playing

(“Rock has maybe never known a

greater overthinker... a player and

conceptualist for whom no detail

was too minuscule to sweat”) and

a special episode of the Rolling

Stone Music Now podcast, featuring

unheard interview audio from senior

writer Brian Hiatt’s 2015 RS cover

story on Rush. For continuing

coverage of Peart’s life and legacy,

Neil Peart,

1952-
