Remembering Neil Peart on his birth day, born September 12, 1952, in Ontario, Canada. Peart was best known as the drummer, percussionist, and primary lyricist of Rush. He was known to fans by the nickname "the Professor", derived from the Gilligan's Island character of the same name.

His drumming was renowned for its technical proficiency and his live performances for their exacting nature and stamina. Peart earned numerous awards for his musical performances, including induction into the Modern Drummer Readers Poll Hall of Fame in 1983 at the age of 30, making him the youngest person ever honored in this way.

Peart died from glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, on January 7, 2020, in Santa Monica, California.
