RUSH Drummer Welcomes New Daughter

August 24, 2009

RUSH drummer Neil Peart and his wife, photographer Carrie Nuttall, are the proud parents of a new "healthy, beautiful" daughter, Olivia Louise Peart, according to a posting on the band's official web site.

Peart, 56, currently resides in Santa Monica, California with his wife, but also has a home in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec and spends time in Toronto for recording purposes.

On August 10, 1997, Peart's 19-year-old daughter, Selena Taylor, was killed in a single-car accident on Highway 401 near the town of Brighton, Ontario. His common-law wife of 22 years, Jacqueline Taylor, succumbed to cancer only 10 months later, (on June 20, 1998). Peart, however, stated later that Jacqueline's death was the result of a "broken heart" and called it "a slow suicide by apathy. She just didn't care."
