Description
Includes two full-colour photo inserts, with unearthed photos of the band.
“Popoff’s long-time access to the three band members, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, and their associates continues to provide a phenomenal treasure trove of insight and detail.” — Library Journal
In this conclusion to his trilogy of authoritative books on Canada’s most beloved and successful rock band, Martin Popoff takes us through three decades of “life at the top” for Rush’s Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. Though this era begins with the brisk-selling Roll the Bones and sees throngs of fans sell out international tours, there is also unimaginable tragedy, with Peart losing his daughter and his wife within the space of ten months and, two decades later, succumbing to cancer himself. In between, however, there is a gorgeous and heartbreaking album of reflection and bereavement, as well as a triumphant trip to Brazil, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and — some say surprisingly — the band’s first full-blown concept album to close an immense career marked by integrity and idealism.

Featured Reviews
The final book in a series covering Rush's legendary career.
Popoff - as always - offers meticulous attention to detail and brilliant writing, showcasing the bands career from the Roll the Bones era through Neil Peart's personal tragedies and into the bands blistering returning to form with Vapour Trails, culminating in their final album - and career highlight - Clockwork Angels. Not for the casual fan, Driven is packed full of details, anecdotes and quotes which give an interesting view towards the thought process behind various songs and albums as a whole.
Interesting, insightful, well researched and written, A must for any serious Rush fan.
