Rush frontman Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson could be about to announce a new band called LeeLifeson, according to US rock commentator Eddie Trunk.

It follows the effective end of the Canadian band when drummer Neil Peart retired after a final tour in 2015.

Speaking on his radio show, as reported by Rush fan site Cygnus-X1.net, Trunk said: “Geddy told me he is actually reinvigorated. He told me he made some changes to his diet, which helped his voice, and he had a ton of energy, and he wanted to make music and continue in some way.
