Geddy Lee – My Effin’ Life – In Conversation
GEDDY LEE – My Effin’ Life – IN CONVERSATION
A SPOKEN WORD INTIMATE TOUR ACROSS THE UK THIS DECEMBER 2023
Geddy Lee In Conversation, a series of intimate dates across the UK will see the Rush singer/bassist bring to life his forthcoming memoir My Effin’ Life, due for release on 14th November published by Harper Collins.
The evening promises to be an extraordinary experience, a once-in-a-life-time event. After the curtain rises, Geddy Lee will give his fans a peek into the very fabric of his life: from a deep reflection into his family and childhood, to a steep dive into the history of Rush; from the determined pursuit of music, to the personal memories of his life-long friends and band-mates Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart.
Joined on stage by a special guest interviewer, Geddy Lee will be reading key passages from his forthcoming book My Effin’ Life; he will then share thoughts and stories taken from his experience. Fans will then have the chance to participate in a special Q&A, with Geddy Lee answering their questions directly.
“Writing this book has meant spending so much time living in the past. 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.” – Geddy Lee
The UK tour will kick off in Wolverhampton and will end in London. North American dates to be announced.
