(10/4/02, 10 a.m. ET) -- Rush will be inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall Of Fame in February. The trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart is being honored for its 30-plus-year career, which includes 22 albums, eight Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys), a lifetime-achievement award from the Hollywood-based Musician's Institute, and Order Of Canada honors from its homeland. The Hall Of Fame ceremonies will take place in Toronto.
Also being inducted into the Canadian shrine with Rush will be Bernie Finkelstein, manager of Bruce Cockburn and other Canadian artists, and also the founder of Canada's oldest independent record label, True North Records.
Currently touring to promote its latest album, Vapor Trails, Rush plays Saturday (October 5) at Foro Sol in Mexico City.
