As mentioned in a Rush updates post from just after the New Year, Prog Magazine published a special, year-end edition (Prog #166) of the magazine early last month with a cover feature reading The Ultimate Review of 2025. The special issue looks back on prog rock's biggest stories, concerts, and music from the past year, including Rush's surprise announcement of their Fifty Something tour in October. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are one the several artists pictured on the cover, with a tagline reading, RUSH: The upcoming tour. Why it's happening and what we can expect. The issue includes a short article written by Philip Wilding where he talks about how - if 2025 is remembered for one thing - it would "most likely will be Rush announcing they were going back out on the road, with German drummer Anika Nilles, for their R50 shows". However, there are no new interview segments or new information regarding the tour itself, with Wilding making reference to a couple of past conversations he had with Geddy, and talking about fan complaints of ticket prices. John at Cygnus-X1.net has transcribed the entire article and made it available online here.
