The Rush guitarist has even asked for film and programme recommendations while he’s in lockdown – and his call has been answered with fans submitting hundreds of suggestions.
Lifeson says: “Just returned from spring break with my grandkids. We are all self quarantining for 14 days. All travellers should. Looking forward to getting caught up on Netflix! Send your top viewing suggestions.”
Some have jokingly recommended he watch the Rush documentary Beyond The Lighted Stage, while others have praised the guitarist’s actions in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
