![Neil Ellwood Peart, born September 12, 1952), is a Canadian-American author and retired musician, best known as the drummer and primary lyricist for the rock band Rush. Peart has received numerous awards for his musical performances, including an induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1983, making him the youngest person ever so honoured. His drumming is known for its technical proficiency and his live performances are known for their exacting nature and stamina..Peart is the author of seven non-fiction books, the latest released in September 2016. His growth as an author predates the published work by several years (not including his work as Rushs primary lyricist), through private letters and short travelogues sent out to a small circle of friends and family...Pearts first book, titled The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa,[57] was written in 1996 about a month-long bicycling tour through Cameroon in November 1988. The book details Pearts travels through towns and villages with four fellow riders. The original had a limited print run, but after the critical and commercial success of Pearts second book, Masked Rider was re-issued and remains in print as of 2006...After losing his wife and (at the time) only daughter, Peart embarked on a lengthy motorcycle road trip spanning North America. His experiences were penned in Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road.[23] Peart and the rest of the band were always able to keep his private life at a distance from his public image in Rush. However, Ghost Rider is a first-person narrative of Peart on the road, on a BMW R1100GS motorcycle, in an effort to put his life back together as he embarked on an extensive journey across North America...Years later, after his marriage to Nuttall, Peart took another road trip, this time by car. In his third book, Traveling Music: Playing Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times,[73] he reflects on his life, his career, his family and music. As with his previous two books, it is a first-person narrative...Thirty years after Peart joined Rush, the band found itself on its 30th anniversary tour. Released in September 2006, Roadshow: Landscape With Drums, A Concert Tour By Motorcycle details the tour both from behind Neils drumkit and on his BMW R1150GS and R1200GS motorcycles...Pearts next book, Far and Away: A Prize Every Time, was published by ECW Press in May 2011.[74] This book, which he worked on for two years, is based around his traveling in North and South America. It tells how he found in a Brazilian town a unique combination of West African and Brazilian music.[75] In 2014, a follow-up book, Far and Near: On Days like These, was published by ECW. It covers travels in North America and Europe.[76] Another book, Far and Wide: Bring That Horizon to Me!, was published in 2016 and is based on his travels between stops on the R40 Live Tour of 2015...Peart worked with science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson to develop a novelization of Rushs 2012 album Clockwork Angels; the book was published by ECW Press.[77] Snippets of the bands lyrics can be found throughout the story. The two collaborated again on a loose sequel, Clockwork Lives, published in 2015. ©Billy Tompkins/Rosebud2](/media/39/thumb/0374417_neil-peart.jpg)
