According to Rushisaband.com, RUSH will be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, June 25th.

According to Wikipedia, the Hollywood Walk Of Fame is a sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, that serves as an entertainment museum. It is embedded with more than 2,000 five-pointed stars featuring the names of not only human celebrities but also fictional characters honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for their contributions to the entertainment industry.

In an interview with New York City's Q104.3 that aired today, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson shed more light on the band's upcoming album.

"There's less emphasis on doing an album," Lifeson reveals. "I think as modern as we want to be and as contemporary as we want to be, we've always been an album band. All of our albums are conceptual in nature, whether it's obvious or not. And that's certainly the case with this album that we are doing. What's interesting for us and refreshing is to do a couple of songs and release them before a tour and play them live. And then go back in and continue writing. The intention from the beginning was just do a couple of songs and not record them, just play them live. What happened was that we started writing and we had six songs we were quite happy with. There were always the two we thought we the candidates to do live, but we decided to record them. They sounded so great when we recorded them that we want to release them now. We'll release one to radio in about a month, and the two of them will be released around the same time at the beginning of the tour. And then we'll go back into the studio, continue writing more material, then we'll recorded everything in the new year, next year."
