Late RUSH drummer Neil Peart was posthumously honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Percussive Arts Society (PAS) at this year’s Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) in Indianapolis on Thursday, November 11.
Accepting the award on the drummer’s behalf was Peart’s wife, Carrie Nuttall, and daughter Olivia, who were joined by Chris Stankee, the global director of artist relations for Sabian cymbals.
A photo of Nuttall giving her acceptance speech, with Olivia and Chris standing nearby, was shared by fellow drummer Dave Stark on Facebook and can be seen below.
Peart died on January 7, 2020 in Santa Monica, California after a three-year battle with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. He was 67 years old.
