Geddy Lee Announces “My Effin’ Life” Book Tour

Geddy Lee’s long-awaited memoir, My Effin’ Life, is scheduled to release on November 14th. Now, the bass icon has announced a tour to support it.

“My Effin’ Life – In Conversation” will be a series of intimate dates across the UK in which Lee will discuss the book and his life, family, Rush, and more. He’ll be joined by a special guest interviewer as he reads passages from his upcoming book, after which fans will get to participate in a Q&A with Lee, where he’ll answer their questions directly.

Lee began writing the book as a reaction to Rush drummer Neil Peart’s passing and the COVID-19 pandemic. Needless to say, it’s been a cathartic yet challenging venture.

“Writing this book has meant spending so much time living in the past. I’ve never lived my life looking anywhere but forward, which is why I resisted doing this kind of thing for so long,” Lee says. “Being in a band all those years was reassuring because it was an ongoing thing. It felt like it was forever. There was always unfinished business: the next record, the next set design, the next tour. It’s been the theme of my life. But you need a lot more determination to proceed in the world of music without the comfort of your bandmates, and I can only hope that finishing this book will release me to return to what I do and love best.”

The UK tour will kick off in Wolverhampton on December 10th at The Civic at The Halls. Lee will visit Sheffield, Glasgow, and Portsmouth before wrapping up in London on December 18th. There’s no word on further book tour dates, but if it’s anything like his “Big, Beautiful Book of Bass” tour, we’ll have more to share soon.
