Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for Canadian rock legends Rush, died on Tuesday, January 7th in Santa Monica, California at age 67, following a three-year battle with brain cancer. Styx's Lawrence Gowan paid tribute to Peart at the band's January 10th show in Phoenix, AZ with a brief piano cover of the Rush hit "Limelight".
Styx drummer Todd Sucherman commented on the tribute:
"'Limelight' was played by Lawrence Gowan before 'Come Sail Away' last night in the round at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix. I was off stage down a hallway listening to this beautiful tribute. From my vantage point I couldn't see Lawrence (as the stage was spinning). All I could see was my drum kit spinning alone in the center of the stage as this song played, and for me… it was a moment."
