Rush announces plans for a '41st anniversary' tour in 2015

Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has announced plans for a "41st anniversary" tour in 2015. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he explained that the band is currently working out the specifics but that the plan is to launch the tour that spring.

"We haven't really talked seriously about what we want to do," Lifeson told them. "But I think we're probably going to lean towards making it a real sort of fan event, and really try to put something together that's very pleasing for the fans across the board. That's always been difficult, for us to sort of balance things."

On their last tour, which ended seven months ago and in support of their latest album Clockwork Angels, the band dug up a lot of deep cuts from the 1980s. The next time around, Lifeson says he wants to play different material.

"I've always wanted to do some rarer Rush material, and this should be a good opportunity to do that. I also think it's going to be a long tour. We just need to stay healthy until then."
