One of the best lyricists of all time and the proud of Canada, Geddy Lee, posted a new photo on his official Instagram page and mourned his long-time buddy and the producer of Rush, Rupert Hine.
Unfortunately, Rubert has passed away from this world at the age of 72, and Gaddy paid his tribute to him by writing a letter about him. Also, almost 15K people went to the comment section to share their condolences, including Jack Black.
Here is the caption:
“In the wee hours of this morning our dear friend and super talented musician, songwriter, and producer of two Rush albums, Presto and Roll The Bones, sadly passed away.
Roop was always such an upbeat, unflappable, and all around lovely ‘chap’ to work with and to be around. His influence on our music and on our attitude towards enjoying life was profound and he shall be sorely missed by so many.
There are still many of his very ‘British’ expressions that have made their way permanently into our lexicon and I can see his smiling face and the twinkle in his eye whilst saying, ‘Jolly D!’ RIP dear ‘Roop…’ We love you, man!”
An Instagram user named Atlas Moon made the most-liked comment:
“So sad. A real contributor. Shaped you sound like no other. Truly a great loss. Sorry brother.”
