UPDATE - 2/6@1:13PM: Sam Dunn of Banger Films talks about the series in this VH1 interview.

We first heard that Geddy Lee would be featured in an upcoming VH1 series from Banger Films titled Rock Icons back in November, but didn't have much in the way of details at the time. Now VH1 has put out an official announcement regarding the series, which will air its premiere episode featuring Geddy Lee on Saturday, February 21st at 10PM:

From Banger Films, the people that brought you the Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage documentary and the TV show Metal Evolutions, comes an all-new docu-series profiling the biggest icons in hard rock, heavy metal and classic rock. Rock Icons premieres Saturday February 21st at 10/9C, immediately following the That Metal Show's season 14 kick-off, and takes you backstage with in-depth, intimate portraits revealing who these rock stars really are. Each 30-minute episode is jam-packed with exclusive interviews and never-before-seen footage with featured artists and the key people who helped shape their careers.

The series premiere goes beyond the limelight with Geddy Lee, lead singer and bassist extraordinaire of Canadian progressive hard rock legends Rush. Find out how his remarkable musical talent and drive was influenced by the early passing of his father and why he is determined to live every bit of his life to the fullest. ...
