JAKARTA - Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson discussed the inflammation he had suffered for a long time.

Over the past few decades, the 70-year-old Canadian musician has had psoriatic joint inflammation, a form of chronic autoimmune joint inflammation that causes joint inflammation and occurs along with the condition of psoriasis skin.

While appearing in the recent episode of "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk" SiriusXM, Lifeson revealed that the disease was slowly getting worse.

"I've had psoriatic joint inflammation, and I've had it for a long time - for almost 20 years. I used two biological drugs for the treatment of joint inflammation, so it's like a double blow in handling it," Lifeson said.

"And this is very, very effective. Despite the side effects and everything, it's a very effective regimen for me, and it really helps my hand," he continued.

Lifeson juga berbicara tentang kemungkinan dia kembali beraktivitas, baik dengan rekan bandanya di Rush Geddy Lee atau dengan proyek lain.

"After 40 years of tours, I'm not interested in going on tours anymore. I enjoyed it when we did it. There was a lot of joy and sorrow. The show was good and for that another 21 hours a day, you're just waiting for those three hours. And it's tiring, especially if you have a family and you have loved ones at home who keep you isolated for months at a time."

"I didn't miss that aspect. Do I like playing in front of people? Yes. I still like it maybe not to the point where I have to do it.
