Rush fan site Cygnus-X1 is reporting that during a recent broadcast from the House Of Blues in Houston, radio host Eddie Trunk hinted at the possibility of a Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson group called LeeLifeson.
According to the site, Rush fan Tomas Driscoll, who was in the audience during the broadcast, asked Eddie about his opinion on Rush's future. Eddie began by commenting on Neil Peart, and his thoughts about the Rush drummer:
"...He’s out. I think he’s done…done…done. However Geddy is the total opposite. I talked to Geddy a couple times… and Geddy told me he is actually reinvigorated. He told me at the time he made some changes to his diet which helped his voice… and he had a ton of energy, and he wanted to make music and continue in some way.
“Alex seems to be somewhere in the middle. Alex has said publicly he absolutely wants to do some stuff again. He’s doing some producing, he’s doing some writing.
“There has been talk about a band called LeeLifeson, which would be the two of them going out and doing stuff together. They would never call it Rush. Those guys are too classy… they would never do that. They would call it potentially LeeLifeson, maybe play some Rush tunes and make new music, because they want to continue to create new music as well.
“I’ve heard rumours about that… it’s up to them."
