Rush Recruits MLB Legend Randy Johnson To Be Their Tour Photographer
If you're planning to see Rush's 40th anniversary tour this summer, keep an eye out for the world's tallest tour photographer. The legendary rock band has recruited another legend, former Major League Baseball pitcher Randy Johnson, to take pictures at several of their shows this summer.
Rush bassist Geddy Lee is a lifelong baseball fan who follows his hometown Toronto Blue Jays when the band isn't on tour. Meanwhile, Johnson is a lifelong rock music fan and is also a partner in Alice Cooper's 'Coopertown' restaurant in Phoenix. Lee and Johnson forged a friendship 20 years ago, after meeting a Rush concert in Seattle.
In July, the 6'10" Big Unit will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. But not before he spends the next month traveling with the band and photographing them at each stop. One of those shows will take place in Chicago on Friday, June 12th, and Major League Baseball is giving one lucky fan the chance to see Rush rockin' live, tickets for a Cubs game at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field and a private meet and greet with the band and Johnson.
