\u201cWe loved seeing him in Nashville when we came through on tour. He had a mischievous, beaming smile and great sense of humour,\u201d <\/span>the band writes<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. \u201cHe will be so missed\u2026. RIP Mr. Big.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Frontman Geddy Lee<\/strong> and guitarist\u00a0Alex Lifeson<\/strong> also shared personal tributes on their Instagram accounts, with Geddy calling Collins \u201ca dear, dear friend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring periods in the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s [sic] we had some incredible musical adventures together, in various studios across the globe. He truly was our Mr. Big\u2026with his ever present cigar and constant good humour,\u201d <\/span>he writes<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. \u201cAfter hitting the record button, I can still hear him say ‘OK boys, from the topping \u2026 no stopping!'”<\/span><\/p>\n

Lifeson <\/span>added<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, \u201cPeter Collins will forever live in my memory as Mr. Big, sitting at his control centre beside a recording console with his ubiquitous tools: a legal pad, an ashtray and a Monte Cristo No. 2.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
