Rush plans to have a new album out by spring, followed by a tour starting sometime in 2012. Rush singer Geddy Lee talked to Rolling Stone, revealing “We’re almost finished writing… I’m very pleased with the direction that the material has taken. And I think we have one or two more songs that we’d like to write, and then we’ll start recording in earnest. Hopefully we’ll have all of the recording done before Christmas.”
Geddy’s hoping to have the next Rush album out by spring 2012, and says “Well, there will be a tour. I can’t tell you exactly when. Maybe the summer or maybe the fall. We need some time to organize all that… But yes, there will be a follow-up tour to support the record.” Lee is pretty happy, saying “I think that it’s a good time for us right now. We feel invigorated by the success of the band. We feel invigorated by the quality of the material that we seem to be able to write. Frankly, I think we’ve come to a point in our lives where we feel like we’re playing the best we’ve ever played as a live band.”
