ole has purchased Core Music, the 40-year home of RUSH's music publishing, and will manage the music publishing affairs of the band for the foreseeable future.

Says ole chairman and CEO Robert Ott: "ole is very honored to have been chosen by RUSH to manage their incredible living legacy and to be a partner in their ongoing creative journey in music publishing. ole looks forward to working hard to ensure that RUSH's music continues to find new and wider audiences."

Geddy Lee, singer/bassist of RUSH, said: "We are pleased with the news of Core Music's deal with ole and happy that our publishing will be handled by a Canadian company with worldwide expertise."

"With the changing times in the music business, the responsibilities of a publisher have become much more complex.
