Aimee Mann says she nearly passed on joining Rush for their early reunion performances, a claim she makes in a one-page comic she writes and draws and posts on Instagram. According to the comic, Mann joins the band at their first show of the run in the Los Angeles area at the Kia Forum. She performs a guest spot on “Time Stand Still.” She then appears again at three additional Kia Forum dates over the following week. Rush is back on tour after an earlier pause following the death of drummer Neil Peart in 2020. The tour features drummer Anika Nilles. While Mann’s onstage appearances occur during the initial stretch of the reunion run in Los Angeles, the sources indicate she is not expected to continue with the band when they move beyond the U.S. dates, including Mexico City later this week.
