NOVEMBER 4, 2010 – Rush was honored at the 2010 Billboard Touring Awards in New York City with the Legend of Live award, which “honors groups or individuals who have made significant and lasting contributions to live music and the touring business, and acknowledges the recipients’ commitment to the art of performing live and reaching fans through the concert experience.”
Guitarist Alex Lifeson told The Pulse of Radio that Rush has always taken pride in their live playing. “As a band of three guys, we try very hard to make a big sound, and try to make sure that it fits really well together,” he said. “And I’m very proud of that.”
Earlier that year the band was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame and received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
