Driven: Rush in the 90s and In the End

The conclusion to the definitive biography of the rock ’n’ roll kings of the North…now in paperback!

Includes two full-colour photo inserts, with unearthed photos of the band.

“Popoff’s long-time access to the three band members, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, and their associates continues to provide a phenomenal treasure trove of insight and detail.” — Library Journal

In this conclusion to his trilogy of authoritative books on Canada’s most beloved and successful rock band, Martin Popoff takes us through three decades of “life at the top” for Rush’s Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. Though this era begins with the brisk-selling Roll the Bones and sees throngs of fans sell out international tours, there is also unimaginable tragedy, with Peart losing his daughter and his wife within the space of ten months and, two decades later, succumbing to cancer himself. In between, however, there is a gorgeous and heartbreaking album of reflection and bereavement, as well as a triumphant trip to Brazil, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and — some say surprisingly — the band’s first full-blown concept album to close an immense career marked by integrity and idealism.

  • Book one in the trilogy, Anthem: Rush in the ’70s, debuted at #1 in Rock Music on Amazon and sold more than 10,000 copies.
  • Rush has 2.7M official Facebook fans, as well as 293K followers on Twitter and 344K on Instagram. Rush has sold over 40 million records worldwide, and their fans live across the globe.
  • The final book in the trilogy covers Rush in the ’90s and extends to their retirement and to their lasting influence on rock music and the impact of drummer Neil Peart’s passing on the fan community.
  • “Popoff’s longtime access to the three band members, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, and their associates continues to provide a phenomenal treasure trove of insight and detail … Popoff is to be congratulated for this herculean effort.” — Library Journal on Driven
  • Rush has toured in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Scotland, and England in the last ten years. Neil Peart’s passing was international news in January 2020.
