Aimee Mann has revealed what it was like to perform at Rush<\/a>‘s reunion shows earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Mann, who sang on Rush’s 1987 single Time Stand Still, reprised her role across all four nights at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, despite initial reluctance to get involved.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I was super fucking depressed,” Mann tells Vulture Music<\/a>. “I didn\u2019t really feel very functional for a variety of reasons. The fucking world being on fire doesn\u2019t help one\u2019s psyche when there\u2019s a lot of other stuff going on. I was just really depressed and in a bit of a self-loathing mode. I was like, nobody wants to get onstage in front of a bunch of people. I just wanted to hide.”<\/p>\n

Rush frontman Geddy Lee initially emailed Mann to invite her to appear just once with the band, and she finally agreed after ignoring his message for a full month.<\/p>\n

“It was just magical. You’re part of a magical event where this incredible band is getting back together. They’re honouring their drummer while honouring their new drummer, which is so exciting. Everybody’s on the same page, and it’s a page of real top-down kindness.<\/p>\n

“So after that, somebody in their organisation was like, ‘You\u2019re coming for all of them, right?’ And I said, ‘Well, they didn\u2019t ask me.’ And they responded, ‘Oh my God, of course they want you to come again.’ I wanted to repeat this experience because it was so fantastic.”<\/p>\n

Asked if she might appear at further shows on Rush’s Fifty Something tour, which resumes at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City this evening, Mann expresses enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m going to try to,” she says. “They\u2019re doing some filming in Cleveland, so I\u2019m probably going to the Cleveland shows. They\u2019re going to be on tour for, what, a full year? I would love to do more. I just got a million fucking things I\u2019m doing, so I don\u2019t know how practical it is, but if I have the time, I\u2019m up for it.”<\/p>\n

Mann plays six dates in July to celebrate her 2000 album Bachelor No. 2 Or, The Last Remains Of The Dodo. Full dates below.<\/p>\n
