Rush frontman Geddy Lee has announced a book tour for his upcoming memoir, My Effin’ Life.
“Writing this book has meant spending so much time living in the past,” Lee says of the book. “I’ve never lived my life looking anywhere but forward, which is why I resisted doing this kind of thing for so long. Being in a band all those years was reassuring because it was an ongoing thing. It felt like it was forever. There was always unfinished business: the next record, the next set design, the next tour. It’s been the theme of my life. But you need a lot more determination to proceed in the world of music without the comfort of your bandmates, and I can only hope that finishing this book will release me to return to what I do and love best.”
The tour promises “a peek into the very fabric of his life: from a deep reflection of his family and childhood, to a dive into the history of Rush; from the determined pursuit of music, to the personal memories with his life-long friends and band-mates, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart.” Each date of the tour has Geddy joined by a special guest interviewer, and there will be an audience Q&A portion as well.
The tour kicks off in NYC on November 13 at Beacon Theatre. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, October 6 at 10 AM with presales beforehand. All dates are listed below.
My Effin’ Life is out November 14 via Harper Collins and you can preorder it in our shop.
