Jane Stevenson of the QMI Agency reports that RUSH drummer Neil Peart will write and deliver the acceptance speech as he, bassist-vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson are inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame at a gala ceremony Sunday night at the Toronto Centre For The Arts.
"Public speaking isn't easy for me and I know all the evening the blood will be roaring louder in my ears," Peart, 57, said. "But it's a challenge and I love those kind of things. Even performing live, after all these years, is an intensely tense (experience) all day long and leading up to show-time and then just before it, again the blood rushing in your ears, and heart pounding, and everything feels tingly and kind of unwell. But it's a challenge as well to go up there and play well under those circumstances."
