I read on the Rush website that they are getting a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame!
BILLY CORGAN TO SPEAK AT RUSH WALK OF FAME CEREMONY JUNE 25 IN LA
Billy Corgan, vocalist, lead guitarist and songwriter for The Smashing Pumpkins, will pay tribute to the band as they accept their Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Billy joins Donna Halper, former radio personality at WMMS Cleveland where Rush received their first radio airplay with Working Man participate as well.
The ceremony will take place in front of the Musician’s Institute at 6752 Hollywood Boulevard at 11:30 AM in Los Angeles this Friday, June 25th.
Mann Chinese 6 in Hollywood is going to have special screenings of ‘Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage’ at their theatre this Friday in honor of Rush getting their Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame just blocks away. They’re giving special screenings at 2pm, 5pm and 8pm in their biggest auditorium.
Rush In Hollywood
Well, it may have taken nearly 40 years, but at least they are getting the recognition they deserve.
You can read more here, and here , and here, and here. And many other places online. There’s also a video on some of those sites.
The first of those stories confirms that the new album, Clockwork Angels, is due for release next year. My prediction is that that will coincide with the announcement of a World Tour. Note that there is also a new CD single (Caravan/BU2B) which is on release ahead of the album.
Remember – that comment about the World Tour is just a prediction, not a fact!
This story – and other posts relating to Rush – is still getting a lot of hits from people asking “will Rush tour the UK?” or “are rush touring the UK?”.
