Wow, was it publicly known that he had brain cancer? This is a huge shock. The man deserved a nice long retirement. RIP
Wait, what??? I saw one article just now about it, thought it was a hoax but more and more Twitter posts and articles are coming out This is shocking, one of the best and a man to be looked up to as a human being let alone for amazing musicianship RIP
OMG. How terribly sad. He only got two years of peaceful retirement before the struggle with cancer began. There are no words. Rest in peace, Mr. Peart. Prayers and best wishes to his surviving wife and daughter. They must be devastated.
damn-that sucks. I just ordered some Rush vinyl yesterday and was playing a lot of Rush today on the computer. very sad.. Miss you Neil

A God amongst drummers. He must have inspired a huge number of drummers to push themselves further than the standard 4/4. One of the best there'll ever be. R.I.P
