I’ll never forget the day I heard the news. I’d just got to work, turned on the radio, and was immediately confused upon hearing a clip of Neil from David Letterman’s ‘Drum Solo Week’. Never in my life had I heard The Professor soloing on the FM dial before, and it was just weird; something seemed off. Then the announcement: Cornelius Ellwood Peart was gone from brain cancer. Glioblastoma. It’s still strange that he’s gone.
Sad. He was the best ever... but when I heard in interview with geddy I knew something was up with Neil. It just was off ...sad indeed. I. Honestly believe if he was in good health they would have gotten back together a second time.
