No, Rush did not leave SRO Records for Q Prime. SRO Management (and its record arm, Anthem Records) remained the band's primary management and home label throughout their entire career. Key details regarding their management and industry relationships include: Continuous Partnership: Ray Danniels, the president of SRO, was Rush's primary manager from their early days until the band effectively ceased activities following the death of Neil Peart in 2020. The Q Prime Connection: While Rush did not switch management companies, a key figure in their history, Val Azzoli, did leave SRO to join Q Prime. Azzoli had worked closely with Rush at SRO for several years before departing amicably in 1987 to join the U.S.-based management firm. External Label Deals: Although Anthem was their home label, Rush signed major international distribution deals with other labels, most notably Mercury Records (1974–1989) and Atlantic Records (1989 onwards). Recent Status: As of 2026, Rush is no longer an active touring or recording unit. They continue to be listed on the Q Prime website in a legacy or management capacity for certain regions or catalog rights, but Ray Danniels/SRO is historically recognized as their lifelong management. Actually, for the R50 "Fifty Something" Tour in 2026, there has been a notable shift in their professional alignment: Management by Q Prime: As of 2026, Rush is officially listed as being managed by Q Prime. While SRO Management/Anthem Records was the band's home for their entire active career with Neil Peart, the new 2026 reunion projects are being handled by the firm co-founded by Peter Mensch and Cliff Burnstein. Continued SRO Legacy: Despite the shift for the current tour, SRO Management still lists Rush on its roster and remains the historical management vehicle for [its] extensive catalog and legacy business. Tour Details: The 2026 tour features surviving members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson returning to the stage to celebrate 50 years of music and honor the legacy of Neil Peart. They are joined by German drummer Anika Nilles. Booking Agents: The "Fifty Something" trek is promoted by Live Nation and booked through IAG’s Dennis Arfa and Adam Kornfeld. In summary, while they never "left" SRO during their original run, their 2026 return is being spearheaded under the Q Prime management umbrella. These articles explain Rush's 2026 tour management by Q Prime and confirm their continued SRO legacy:

Two weeks later, there are still more condolences. I am still sad.

I've been to every Rush show since 1985. More than 30 years later, I saw them at R-40. It was memorable, as I first saw them at the Forum in Inglewood and bookend their career at the Forum.

Oh speaking about Westboro, they protested my denomination's General Assembly...and left ‘Angels’ from Orlando peacefully block Westboro Baptist Church protesters in Columbus And yes, many of the U.U. members are Rush fans too. I did a workshop in Portland Oregon and I wore my Rush sweat shirt too. I received a lot of compliments about my sweatshirt too

I had a good weekend: Macallan 18 yrs and a Cuban cigar. It was quite delicious and I think I may join this club. Actually, it's a friend's place, and he also have different single malt scotch. It'll cost me $25 a month and I get a sniffer or swifter (them big glass) of scotch and a cigar. I'm new at this. Is this a good deal?

When you feel the Holy Spirit at a Rush concert instead of Church When you feel offended when you talk about Rush and people think of the fat, drug-addled Republican

Alcoholics! With class

As I heard from Rush Radio, "Uhh, not that Rush, 'cause this Rush don't diss Canada." Still high or maybe it's the fact that "The Camera Eye" is playing.......yes, let's go with that! Want this drug-addled-fat-@$$-scum-bucket? Though Rush did do Limbo...hmmm.

You know how Alex got his last name

QUOTE (Ya_Big_Tree @ Feb 11 2008, 11:12 AM) I had a dream I bought a bottle of the old Macallan. I never got to drink it though. What a nightmare

You have to say: I like Rush (the band)

YKYAARF when: 01) You do YKYAARF-type threads 02) You name your pets Geddy, Alex and/or Neil 03) Read Dear Theo 04) Read Dos Passos, Steinbeck,et al 05) Become a Libertarian...a left-leaning Libertarian 06) You're religious but become an A-theist 07) 2112 and 1001 are just one number lower 08) You know 1001001 means I 09) You have to inform people that when you talk about Rush, you preface by saying the band 10) When you can quote the Bible and Rush: Wheels within wheels In a spiral array A pattern so grand And complex Time after time We lose sight of the way Our causes cant see Their effects http://scripturetext.com/ezekiel/1-16.htm The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

I wonder who here can afford a bottle of the old Macallan. I sure can't
