Tragic Details About Rush

Rush's songs speak to the mind and the heart. The band also sings from a place of empathy, as its individual members have endured a lot of pain and struggle over the years. Here's the tragic real-life story of Rush.

From late 1996 to July 1997, Rush toured in support of its album Test for Echo. And after the final stop in Ottawa, Ontario, drummer Neil Peart headed home to Toronto to see his 19-year-old daughter Selena Taylor off to college.

Peart wrote in Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road that on the morning of August 10, 1997, he hopped on his motorcycle to guide his daughter, who was riding in a car behind him, through the Quebec wilderness. He wrote that they stopped at a gas station and parted ways.

"Once again I hugged and kissed her and told her I loved and was proud of her. Now I was so glad those words had been spoken."

That's because later that day, Taylor died after being involved in a single-car accident. According to MTV News, Taylor's Jeep rolled over on Highway 401, somewhere between Toronto and Montreal.
