TGF Rush is still around, last album...Clockwork Angels, 2012. There is talk of the drummer Neil Peart retiring.

Rush drummer Neil Peart says he’s ready to retire after 40 years with the band.

“The reality is that my style of drumming is largely an athletic undertaking, and it does not pain me to realize that, like all athletes, there comes a time to… take yourself out of the game,” he writes in an article for the current edition of Drumhead Magazine.
