(Classic Rock) A stream of Alice In Chains covering the Rush track "Tears" has been posted online. Their cover version appears on the upcoming 40th anniversary edition of classic Rush album 2112, set for launch on December 16 and featuring contributions from Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, Steven Wilson and Billy Talent, alongside Alice In Chains.
Alice In Chains say they're "honored" to have taken part in the project. The future of Rush remains in doubt following the apparent retirement of drummer Neil Peart, leaving frontman Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson to reflect that their touring career is likely to be over.
Peart last week published an article passing on some of his experience to a new generation of musicians, while Hawkins joked that he'd be "crucified" by "dorks" if he dared try to replace Peart in the lineup. Check out the song here.
