Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Last year Phil did a special 'One Night Only' show on ITV in the UK and it was said then he was taking time out to be a father.

Not sure if it is available out there somewhere but it is well worth seeing if it is.
I saw Genesis play at Wembley in 1987, many years ago. Fabulous. I have cds and a video that still get regular playing time and albums that don't lol.
One of my fave tracks in addition to those already posted is this,

Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Phil's got his own official You Tube channel.

And this piece that Koala posted
http://www.philcollins.co.uk/de/news...s-message-phil
does say he is giving it all up.

'my reasons for calling it a day'

'I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis'.
Going Back is his last album...... ever, I believe. There are lots of comments about him finishing on his facebook too. :brickwall:
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Very upsetting! I guess I always think that these rock heroes just go till they can't go anymore. I understand the hand issues and not being able to play drums any longer but I've always enjoyed his voice more than he drumming. He will be missed in the music industry and by his fans.
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Ok, I get it.....you all really like Phil Collins! :lol:
Yeah, I like him, too, but the only song I really know was In The Air Tonight. Loved that one! :nod:
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
Has everyone seen the Cadbury's advert with the drumming gorilla playing on ITAT?

I saw them about 1977/78 I think at Knebworth :thumbsup:
Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
I've just watched my Invisible Touch tour video. Then found these taken from it on you tube.

Re: Phil Collins / Genesis
I think the conflicting reports might be because Phil himself sometimes feels like giving it up, then thinks better of it! At any rate, I'll go with the good news. At the very least, it gave us the opportunity to start this thread and express our appreciation for a great artist!
And I don't care if he gives up drumming if it means we still get to hear that voice.
