'A Farewell to Kings' is the fifth studio album by Rush, released on Anthem Records on August 29, 1977. The album reached No. 11 in Canada and marked a growth in the band's international fanbase, becoming their first Top 40 album in the U.S. and the U.K.
After reaching a critical and commercial peak with '2112' and touring the album, Rush decided to record the follow-up outside Toronto for the first time and settled in Rockfield Studios in Wales after their debut European tour.
'A Farewell to Kings' is noted for the band expanding their sound with greater use of synthesizers and each member playing more instruments than before; and having long and short tracks such as the 11-minute "Xanadu", and "Closer to the Heart" of under 3-minute, both of which became live favourites. The closing science-fiction themed "Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage" ends on a cliffhanger which concludes on the next album, 'Hemispheres'.
'A Farewell to Kings' received a generally positive reception from critics. "Closer to the Heart" was released as the album's first single, which reached No. 36 in the U.K. Rush supported the album with their most extensive tour at the time, headlining major venues across North America and Europe for over 140 dates.
A 40th anniversary remastered edition with bonus tracks and a 5.1 surround sound mix was released in 2017.
