Alaska, AK (prHWY.com) December 31, 2012 - Yesterday, Rush released their new single, "Headlong Flight," giving fans a taste of what's to come on the band's upcoming album, Clockwork Angels, out June 12. Clockwork Angels is Rush's 20th studio release and their first set of original material in over five years, so there's plenty of buzz surrounding the release.

Now, the men have announced a cross-country 2012 tour in support of Clockwork Angels. The jaunt kicks off September 7 in Manchester, New Hampshire and will travel to 30-plus cities before closing out December 2 in Houston, Texas. Tickets go on sale starting April 27 in most cities via Ticketmaster and LiveNation.

As for "Headlong Flight," Rush singer and bass player Geddy Lee says it was a delight to write. "'Headlong Flight' was one of those songs that was a joy to write and record from beginning to end," he said in an official statement. "Alex Lifeson and I had blast jamming in my home studio one day before the 2nd leg of the Time Machine Tour and I did not revisit that jam until a year later.

"Alex and I assembled the song to be an instrumental and its original title was 'Take that lampshade off yo head!' but once we saw the lyrics Neil had written for 'Headlong Flight,' I knew that the spirit of the lyrics matched the instrumental perfectly and it was just a matter of making them fit and writing the melodies."
