Membros dos NIRVANA, BLACK SABBATH, METALLICA e MOONSPELL, entre muitos outros, prestam homenagem a NEIL PEART

Membros dos BLACK SABBATH, METALLICA, MOONSPELL, KISS, ANTHRAX MEGADETH e KING DIAMOND, entre muitos outros, estão entre os músicos que reagiram nas redes sociais à morte de Neil Peart, dos RUSH. O icónico baterista faleceu na passada terça-feira, dia 7 de Janeiro, em Santa Mónica, na Califórnia, depois de ter sido diagnosticado com um cancro no cérebro. Um comunicado divulgado na página oficial da banda no Twitter diz: “É com o coração partido e uma tristeza profunda que partilhamos as terríveis notícias de que, na terça-feira, o nosso amigo, irmão de alma e companheiro de banda de mais de 45 anos, Neil, perdeu a sua incrivelmente corajosa batalha de três anos e meio com um cancro no cérebro“. A declaração pede privacidade para a família de Peart por parte “dos amigos, fãs e media” e solicita que os presentes façam uma doação em nome de Peart a um grupo de pesquisa sobre o cancro ou a uma instituição de caridade à sua escolha. R.I.P.

Absolutely Horrible News. Neal Peart has died after fighting brain cancer for years. His later life was filled with so much family tragedy. So, so sad. I’m just shocked. pic.twitter.com/EM4Ea1quaY

RIP Neil Peart. A true artist and a sweet, good guy. And probably the most air drummed drummer of all time. This is my tribute…air drumming one of THE greatest, iconic drum moments in rock history. #neilpeart #rush https://t.co/01RW6pYWIl

It is unbelievably sad to hear that my favorite drummer of all time, Neil Peart, has left us. Very hard to find words to properly express the level of inspiration & influence he had on so so many musicians. He will forever remain at the top of my list. Farewell to a true king. pic.twitter.com/A9QkSWg2f9

My hero just died.
Neil Peart is no longer with us. He´s always been there, I quote him daily, I listen to him all the time and I think “What would Neil write” often. A true inspiration and someone I´ve looked up to like no other. Farewell my king.#rush #neilpeart

There are drummers and then there is Neil Peart. I believe for most of us he was the “one”. I would Rush ( no pun) home from school to play Natural science , subdivisions and numerous other tracks. His playing helped shape the drummer I am today. RIP professor .I💜Neil Peart
