TORONTO (CelebrityAccess) — Geddy Lee, the award-winning frontman and bassist of the legendary Canadian progressive rock band Rush, announced plans for a storytelling tour around his forthcoming memoir My Effin’ Life.
Geddy Lee’s My Effin’ Life In Conversation tour kicks off on November 13th at the Beacon Theatre in New York with dates set for theaters across the U.S. before wrapping at Toronto’s Massey Hall on December 8th.
For the tour, Lee will be joined on stage by a special guest interviewer and will read key passages from his forthcoming book My Effin’ Life. He will also share stories and anecdotes from his past, starting with his early years, his pursuit of music and his personal memories with his life-long friends and band-mates, Alex Lifeson and the late Neil Peart.
“Writing this book has meant spending so much time living in the past”. Lee continues: “I’ve never lived my life looking anywhere but forward, which is why I resisted doing this kind of thing for so long. Being in a band all those years was reassuring because it was an ongoing thing. It felt like it was forever. There was always unfinished business: the next record, the next set design, the next tour. It’s been the theme of my life. But you need a lot more determination to proceed in the world of music without the comfort of your bandmates, and I can only hope that finishing this book will release me to return to what I do and love best.”
$1 per ticket is going to the Neil Peart Memorial At Lakeside Park fund. The project and its timelines are contingent on the task force raising the $1 million fundraising goal established for the project. Donations of any size can be made towards the memorial project online at www.stcatharines.ca/neilpeart.
