Cornelius Ellwood Peart Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Neil Ellwood Peart, Template:Post-nominals (/?p??rt/; born September 12, 1952), is a Canadian musician and author. He is the drummer and lyricist for the rock band Rush. Peart has received numerous awards for his musical performances, and is known for his technical proficiency and stamina.Peart grew up in Port Dalhousie, Ontario (now part of St. Catharines). During adolescence, he floated between regional bands in pursuit of a career as a full-time drummer. After a discouraging stint in England to concentrate on his music, Peart returned home, where he joined a local Toronto band, Rush, in the summer of 1974.Early in his career, Peart's performance style was deeply rooted in hard rock. He drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon and John Bonham, players who were at the forefront of the British hard rock scene. As time passed, he began to emulate jazz and big band musicians Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. In 1994, Peart became a friend and pupil of jazz instructor Freddie Gruber. It was during this time that Peart decided to revamp his playing style by incorporating jazz and swing components. Gruber was also responsible for introducing him to the products of Drum Workshop, the company whose products Peart currently endorses.In addition to being a musician, Peart has published several memoirs about his travels. Peart is also Rush's primary lyricist. In writing lyrics for Rush, Peart addresses universal themes and diverse subject matter including science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy, as well as secular, humanitarian and libertarian themes. All five of his books are travel-based non-fiction, though they diverge into his life and these subjects as well. Peart currently resides in Santa Monica, California, with his wife, photographer Carrie Nuttall, and daughter, Olivia Louise. He also has a home in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Canada, and spends time in Toronto for recording purposes.

#	Quote
1	I still don't like seeing myself on the screen! I don't like to hear myself talk, I don't want to look at myself, and I'll probably never watch this video!
2	I honestly don't see anything wrong with playing drums leading with the left hand.
3	Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
4	To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future. I have no patience with that kind of attitude, whether it's on radio or among friends. [from an interview in 1986]
5	Anytime I have an idea, I'll make sure that I put it down so that when we do sit down to write an album, I don't have to dream it all out of thin air. I don't have to be creative on the spur of the moment, or spontaneously artistic. I just take advantage of whenever creativity strikes.
6	I don't like lyrics that are just thrown together, that were obviously written as you went along, or the song was already written and the guy made up the lyrics in five minutes.

#	Fact
1	When Neil started traveling by motorcycle between shows, his riding partner was his best friend Brutus. However, Brutus's criminal record, which culminated in 1999 with a charge of transporting marijuana over a national border, got him banned for life from entering the United States. For this reason, Michael Mosbach, a security expert whom Neil met after moving to California, became his new riding partner in North America, while Brutus is his riding partner in Europe and other continents. (While Brutus could conveniently be his riding partner in Canada or Mexico, Rush's tour itinerary rarely includes Mexico, and if so, it's a one-off show like in 2002, while Canadian dates, as of late, are almost never strung together in a row.).
2	Suffered a motorcycle accident in September 2010 in NE Pennsylvania when he hit a patch of freshly laid asphalt and went sliding off his bike. He was not badly hurt, but was limping for a day or two afterwards and was able to perform the next night in Pittsburgh without any problems. He did not speak of the accident until five years later, when he had retired from touring, out of fear he would no longer be allowed to tour by motorcycle due to insurance reasons.
3	Until the mid-90s, when he took lessons from Freddie Gruber, Neil played the drums with the "butt" ends of the sticks. This was out of force of habit from his youth when the tips of his sticks would break off and he couldn't afford to replace them.
4	Neil, Alex and Geddy are in the recording studio working on Rush's new album, to be released early 2007. [November 2006]
5	Los Angeles, CA, USA: Inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the band Rush. [April 2013]
6	With Rush, released "Feedback", an EP containing 8 cover songs. This marks the first Rush release wherein the band performs songs other than their own. After "Feedback", Rush embarked on a highly successful Thirtieth Anniversary Tour ("R30" for short). On this tour, the band performed some of the cover songs live -- also a first for them. [June 2004]
7	Performed with Rush for 450,000 people as part of the Toronto SARStock relief benefit, alongside major bands including AC/DC and The Rolling Stones. Rush was one of the few native Toronto bands to perform at this historic event to herald Toronto's graceful endurance of the SARS scare. [July 2003]
8	"Vapor Trails" tour with band, Rush. [October 2002]
9	Touring in support of Rush's latest album, "Snakes & Arrows". [June 2007]
10	"Contents Under Pressure: 30 Years of Rush at Home and Away" is released. It is an authorized biography of the band, written by Martin Popoff. [June 2004]
11	Hot on the heels of their triumphant 2002 tour, 2003 DVD, and benefit performance for 450,000 at the 2003 SARS benefit, Rush has announced plans to commemorate the 30th anniversary of their current lineup with a celebratory tour. Planned shows include their first visits to Europe since 1992. [December 2003]
12	Neil, along with other Rush members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in February 2013.
13	Has had two children; Selena Taylor (b. 1978 d. 1997), and Olivia Louise Peart (b. 2009).
14	In addition to drumming for Rush, he is also the band's primary lyricist.
15	Has played on every post-1974 Rush recording. The only album on which he didn't appear was the self-titled debut.
16	Became good friends with Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park) during the time chronicled in his book "Ghost Rider." The animation team created an intro for Rush's hit "Tom Sawyer" featuring Cartman, Kyle, Stan & Kenny, which was played each night on the 2007 Snakes & Arrows tour.
17	"Overtly" Canadian, he moved his primary residence to Los Angeles, California after marrying Carrie Nuttall, and returns to Canada for writing and recording.
18	Rides a motorcycle (along with the band's security manager) in between each venue. In the 80s, he would do this on a bicycle.
19	Close friends with actor Nicholas Cage.
20	Took piano lessons as a child, but eventually started calling in sick and spending the lesson money on candy bars.
21	Since the death of his daughter and wife in 1997-1998, has declined to be interviewed or to appear at many meet and greets with the band.
22	Lost his wife and daughter in a span of 10 months. His daughter Selena was killed in an auto accident, shortly afterwards his wife Jacqueline succumbed to breast cancer
23	Grew up in St. Catharines, Ontario. His song, Lakeside Park, is about his summers at the beach in Port Dalhousie, Ontario.
24	On February 26, 1997, he and his bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson became the first rock musicians to be inducted into the prestigious position of Officers of the Order of Canada. This is the highest honor bestowed upon a civilian by the Canadian government. According to the Ottawa Sun, "The award was given as much for their community service as for their contribution to the arts. They have raised over $1 million for food banks and the United Way."
25	Dropped out of High School.
26	Has written 3 books as of April, 2005: "The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa" (1996), "Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road" (2002), and "Traveling Music: Playing Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times" (2004).
27	Avid fan of BMW motorcycles.
28	Is the drummer for the band Rush.
