Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has shared a new photo on his official Instagram page, shutting down the recent rumors and speculations about he will join Rush for their40th-anniversary tour named ‘Permanent Waves.’
In fact, Portnoy responded to a fake report from a Spanish web site posted on ‘Dia De Los Santos Inocentes,’ which is celebrated as a kind of ‘Spanish April Fool’s Day.’
Here’s what Mike wrote:
“Hahaha so everybody is sending this to me… Apparently some metal website posted a fake article saying I will be joining @rush in 2020 for a 40th Anniversary Tour for Permanent Waves! Even to the point of creating a fake Twitter post from me!
While that’s a pretty awesome (completely hypothetical) dream…and I would surely do it in a heartbeat…it’s unfortunately not true!! (But it is a cool idea).
In any case, just wanted to break the (real) news to anybody that had gotten their hopes up thinking that this may be real!”
He continued:
“OK, back to your regularly scheduled programming… .”
An Instagram user named neythanvaas commented and wrote this:
“They should hire you just for why not sakes! Hahaha”
Another fan named patysigiliano said this:
“Why not? Dreams can become reality! Certainly that would be great! 🤣🤣🤘🏼”
