Rush<\/a> thanked fans and their rocker peers for paying tribute to Neil Peart<\/a> in Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson\u2019s first public statement since announcing the death<\/a> of the Rush drummer on January 10th.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur most heartfelt thanks go out to family, friends, musicians, writers and fans from around the globe for the incredible outpouring of love and respect for Neil since his passing,\u201d Lee and Lifeson wrote on social media Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese touching tributes<\/a> help to lessen the pain of this terrible loss and remind us all to celebrate his remarkable life and our connections to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Following news of Peart\u2019s January 7th death following a lengthy and unpublicized battle with brain cancer, many of the countless musicians who were inspired by the drummer \u2014 including Mike Portnoy<\/a>, Lars Ulrich, Dave Grohl and more \u2014 penned tributes to Peart. I Love You Man<\/em> stars Jason Segel and Paul Rudd also remembered<\/a> the drummer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe world lost a true giant in the history of rock & roll,\u201d Grohl said in a statement to Rolling Stone<\/i><\/a>. \u201cAn inspiration to millions with an unmistakable sound who spawned generations of musicians (like myself) to pick up two sticks and chase a dream. A kind, thoughtful, brilliant man who ruled our radios and turntables not only with his drumming, but also his beautiful words.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ulrich wrote<\/a>, \u201c\u201cThank you Neil. Thank you for inspiring me and for all your help and advice along the way, especially in the early days when you took the time to talk to a young green Danish drummer about recording, gear and the possibilities that lay ahead\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
