As much as it pains us, we have decided to withdraw our voluntary media support for the Neil Peart Memorial Concert. There have been some issues along the way that were troublesome but we held on in the hopes that everything would eventually be worked out.
There are things going on beyond our involvement or control that we cannot speak of, nor want to be associated with.
We wish everyone the best and hope the show is a huge success for all involved. And of course, our utmost respect to Neil, his Family, and Fans around the world.
The Canadian charities chosen by the Peart Family as beneficiaries of this event are:
- St. Catharines Hospital and Walker Cancer Centre
- The Juravinski Hospital & Cancer Centre
- The Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre
Respectfully, SDM
*Edit 3/2/20 – To be clear regarding our media support, we were brought on to help promote the event as we have a global reach of 500K subscribers and social media followers… who are mainly drummers. At no time were we promised any money, at no time did we ask for or want any money. There was no money involved in any aspect of our involvement. Our contributions were voluntary. Just being involved was an absolute honor, and more than suffice. As previously stated, we withdrew out of respect for the Peart Family. Nothing more.
