Nobody can replace The Professor. But Nic has done a fantastic job”. Another aligns the thought “we talk about combining NIC with the Rush and a world tour in 2026! It is obviously up to the challenge and would represent Neil Peart very well.” The enthusiasm is unanimous, at least among those who saw the video: “If Alex and Geddy wanted to return to tour, Nic would be the perfect person to honor Neil.
