Alex Lifeson recently announced that he is selling a large collection of instruments, many of which were used in the making of Rush albums over the years.

When asked about the decision, Lifeson revealed that one of the biggest factors has been his recent work with his new band Envy of None.

“Coming into [Envy of None], and really devoting my time and energy to it, it was a rebirth for me, and now my horizon is sparkling again,” the former Rush member said. “Getting rid of the guitars – I feel like we’re getting leaner in our lifestyle, and it just feels like this movement forward.”

Lifeson explained that retirement wasn’t a choice for him after Rush’s end in 2015.

“I’d rather be productive,” he said. “I’m going to continue working. I’m not going to play Rush songs, I’m not going to try and be what I was when I was 25 years old, or 30 years old. I’m a different person now… I think differently.”
