Split Four Ways?

[Surprise2112]

Just wondering if the profits will be split four ways amongst the four of them?

Not really our business. I imagine the touring musicians will get less than Geddy and Alex though. Who knows what deal they have worked out with Neil's widow

Sure it is?  Geddy mentioned it during the Dan Rather interview - soooooo

Mentioned what? How obsessive fans are?

Hey, you can't blame the guy for asking. We need to make sure Geddy can afford more of those colorful button-down shirts.

Boy, you really hated that shirt, didn't you?

I'd guess Anika will make more than the keyboard guy and backup singer(s) but not as much as Alex or Geddy and I doubt she'd expect to. At this point, she's a session drummer hired for a longer term than usual.

I'm sure everyone involved will be generously remunerated. Rush were famously good to their roadcrew, keeping them on salary between tours. The fact every other night is gig free on this tour will increase costs too.

I expect Neil Peart's estate will receive a healthy cut also.

I believe, It will be split in 5 Ways. The Peart Estate will get their cut as well!

These guys are very generous! Even giving a potion of the proceeds to The Neil Peart Memorial. But yeah, I don't see the Keyboardist getting his fair share!

Why would a for-hire sideman get a share of the profits? He will make a good day-rate and get a ton of additional work because of his association with Rush.

Exactly. Nobody buys a ticket to see the sideman play. Geddy and Alex will no doubt be the ones making the most. What they helped create is what fans are paying for.

Why would Neil's estate get anything from a tour that he is not participating in?

Royalties! He wrote Most of the Lyrics! They'll receive something even as a donation to Neil's Favorite Charity! Or the Neil Peart memorial Fund!
