Geddy Lee, the iconic frontman and instrumentalist from Rush, is embarking on a UK spoken word tour this December.
The renowned Canadian rock musician is set to launch his ‘Geddy Lee In Conversation’ tour after the release of his much-anticipated autobiography, ‘My Effin’ Life,’ by HarperCollins on 14th November.
The tour begins at Wolverhampton’s Civic at The Halls on Sunday, 10th December. Following that, he’ll journey to Sheffield, Glasgow, and Portsmouth, concluding his tour at the London Barbican on Monday, 18th December.
Starting 10am on Friday, 29th September, fans can grab their tickets from Rush’s official website. As a bonus, each ticket bought in the UK comes with a copy of his autobiography, courtesy of tour collaborator Waterstones.
The book tour offers fans a unique evening with Geddy Lee. Attendees will get a deep dive into his life, from touching personal reflections to insights into the legendary journey of Rush, and his profound relationships with bandmates Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart. Alongside a special guest interviewer, Lee will read snippets from ‘My Effin’ Life’ and discuss stories from his rich musical journey. Fans will also have an exclusive Q&A opportunity, allowing them to engage directly with Lee.
Reflecting on his memoir, Lee remarked, “Crafting this memoir involved a deep dive into my past. I’ve always been a forward-thinker, so this was a new experience for me. The continuous journey with the band felt eternal, always moving towards our next venture. Yet, navigating the music world without my bandmates requires a different kind of determination. I hope this book provides a bridge back to my true passion.”
