Guitarist Alex Lifeson says the R40 run was the band’s last.

Last year, Rush celebrated the bands 40th anniversary with a massive tour, R40.

Now, guitarist Alex Lifeson has confirmed that Rush wont tour in the future.

We had such a great time on the tour,Lifeson toldRolling Stonein a new interview.

I think that no matter how long it would have been, it would have been too short.

Lifeson also commented on drummer Neil Peart, who hadexpressed his ambivalence with touring publicly.

He didnt even want to do the tour, to be honest with you.

Its been increasingly difficult for him, but he committed to the tour and we got through it.

As far as he was concerned, that was the end of touring.
