I love this man. I love his voice. I love his musicianship. I love his songs. I love his albums. Welcome back, Phil. Hang out much longer. God bless you!
@Jamis Ins tory? Does that mean he's a conservative? Even so, who cares? I never judge an artist by their political leaning or way of life for that matter. I listen to the music. If I like what I hear, I'm willing to overlook everything else. Tax dodging is not something I tend to judge an artist by either, simply because many of them do it anyway. When it comes to calling him a bore, I wouldn't know since I don't know him in person. However, he makes great music, and none of his songs bore me.
Jamis Ins - he's stated that he's not a tory in answer to Noel Gallagher who came out with the pathetic accusation in the first place (just like you) . Tax dodger? he doesn't live in the UK - his home is overseas with his family so why should he pay UK tax? Definitely a troll.
I’ve seen a lot of his interviews and he admits how much it hurts his body then he’s going on tour again. He just loves being on stage. He was meant to be there (on stage) forever.
Phil Collins is one of the musicians I respect SO much. There aren’t enough words! I so wish I had been able to see him ‘live’ but being able to watch him this way is still great. Phil deserves so much respect!❤️👏🏼👑🇬🇧
Michael Kagan I would say he was one of the best of the 80’s too. Phil not only kicked ass on his own songs & Genesis but also albums by Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, Philip Bailey and Frida.
I have missed Phil so much. It’s his voice and his sense of humor as much as it is his songwriting, and, yes, his drumming, but I will enjoy seeing him again performing in any way he is able. Welcome back, Phil! (great interview - thank you!)
Phil's best drumming can be heard during his formative years recordings, when he was in his 20's and 30's. Unbelievable creativity and perfect accompaniment to the music he was playing. So multi-talented.
Amen Phill. Iv been retired for over 10 years. Born same year as you. Still working part time. Was born April 16. 1951. Was a drummer in my early days. Went professionally for many years. Love your style of drumming. Ever since you guys came out in late 60s early 70s. 👍🏻
I was so sad to have seen him on stage (on TH-cam) with that paralyzed leg...I couldn't believe it!!!...But i find here a peaceful man, full of optimism, and surrounded by love!!! I can't get tired of his voice and his songs...... Thank you for laoding this amazing interview, greetings from France!
I met peter Gabriel back in the day and I had back stage passes. Peter was the singer of genesis then and I didn’t care to much for he was arrogant and he ignored the fans coming back stage. Phil Collins actually came by me and my friend and sighed autographs and took time to show me and my friend around backstage and even introduced us around to the band and crew. I found him to be very nice and funny.
I'm so emotional about the tour which was announced recently, I am certain I will be shedding tears of joy the entire set. There will never be another like Phil.
One of the best front men I've ever seen on stage. So full of energy and spirit. Not to many performers can come from a huge mega band and try to make it into a successful solo career. He sure did. Glad he's back with us.
My wife and I seen him in Charlotte last year - it was ridiculously amazing!! He sounds same as when Face Value came out!! And his son does helluva job on the drums! Bravo!!
Saw him back in 1990 and he was great. He did a 3 hour show with his songs as well as some Genesis songs. You forget how many hits and songs you know he has made. An entire 3 hour show filled with great songs.
Frank honest and from the heart One of the greatest performers who has made music for over 40 years !!! Thank you for coming back...The world missed you!
I've loved this man and his music for 40 years. He has a big piece of my heart. I can't wait to see him again in concert. It will be my 11th time seeing him. I don't care if he has to sit during some of it, or if his voice isn't as strong. If he is there performing them I will be there.
Phil is huge influence to me . As a pro drummer myself I took much of his attitude on and off the drums. I built a Phil Collins tribute kit two years ago
Adore Phil Collins! Been a fan since I was a young teen (80's). Sad to what he has been through, but very happy that he's still got "it", absolutely Legendary! And Nick, OMG, he is the spitting image of his dad, if you look at images of Phil as a young teen.
I have been a Genesis / Collins fan from the age of 15. I am now 56 ! seen both Phil and Genesis many many times over them years I did nearly go to see him in London , I wanted my 15 year old Son to see him ( who's a guitarist and loves Driving the last spike! ) as he was too young the last time Genesis were paying up In Manchester 7/7/07 however having seen Phil on various youtube vids of his recent tour I couldn't bring myself to go as its not really how I want to remember how he was when playing live. And yeh the music's the music and I am sure those who haven't seen him will have enjoyed it but for me I just wanted to remember him as he was when playing live when fully fit both physically and vocally. Although my sister ( who got me into genesis , playing me Robbery assault and battery) is seeing him in October in the states. It will be interesting to hear what he comments will be? we will see.
A Trick of the Tail is my personal favourite album of all time, and in my opinion is one of the greatest prog rock albums that there is. I was born in 1999, so I was eight years old when Genesis were last on tour in the UK (and the world). The first Genesis song I ever listened to properly was Duchess in August 2016. I became and am still obsessed with every bit and every era of their music and their sound. You know what, I think the three eras, that is Gabriel, Early Collins and Late Collins are all superb in their own way. As I said, the early Phil Collins era is my personal favourite. To Conclude, I will say that many adolescents do in fact dig Collins/Genesis and that taste for good music, does and will continue to live on forever.
I'm torn. On the one hand, I want to support Phil's return to the stage, but I also have to be honest. To me, Phil lost his voice after 1992. I mean the famous voice that could be tender or screaming like a madman. He seemed to calm down a lot after Both Sides in 1994, and never really sang with any power again. Dance Into the Light was his final hurrah as a singer. After that, he's always sounded as if he's got a cold. And hearing Mama being sung in a much lower key on the 2007 Genesis tour, with the voice of a sickly grandfather, well, that was the final drop for me. He did sing really well occasionally on the Going Back tour in 2010, though. So maybe his lazy singing is in large part due to him wanting to save his voice for an entire tour, or because he needs to really get into the music to make the extra effort? I miss the screaming Phil of the 1980-1992 period. :(
Phil was and will always be a Premier Drummer in my eyes. His rhythmic timing has helped him as a song-writer, singer and all around survivor! People that only know him for the "In The Air Tonight" drum intro, should go listen to him with Brand X on the BBC from the mid 70's. Phil copped Tony William's off Believe It and Chester Thompson's boogaloo from Zappa's Roxy and made it his own! I don't talk about influences in my drumming of 45 years, without the name Phil Collins being included. Oh, snd if you think his son Nick can play, go check out his son Simon too!
I remember Bran-X. I had the album Unorthodox Behavior. But the only reason I heard of them was because I was a Genisis fan and Phil did some marvelous drumming , background singing and song writing on those early Gensis albums. But even some of the post Gabriel stuff was great and Phil was still the drummer on those studio albums.
Steven Mason Thanks for letting me know. I've actually never seen them but I would want to see Phil on drums but he is not exactly in his prime. I prefer to see younger musicians that are in their prime. I stopped going to see bands like Yes, E.L.P., Genesis, etc....once they reached a point of no return and prefer to remember them when they were at their peak. I notice this is especially true for rock bands but even some jazz artists. The music we are talking about is somewhere in the middle; Fusion for lack of a better term.
If he was a dentist, he'd be Drill Collins. If he was a drunk (well, he was), he'd be Spill Collins. If he was in the barbecue business, he'd be Grill Collins. If he was a porn star, he'd be Fill "The Filler" Collins. If he was.....oh, sod it.
Phil Collins is and will always be #1...I have never loved a singer like him in my life. In fact I got the nickname of Phil Collins growing because of the load of his music I was spreading in the house and neighborhood. Thank you Phil.
stretch54 Agreed. Against All Odds. All Of My Life, Another Day In Paradise, Easy Lover, Hold On My Heart, Something Happened On The Way To Heaven. & there's more. So many songs to love. Oh no! There was a time he was in ICU and he nearly died?😩 Thank God, he got well. Rehab finally stuck. Lovely children, he's got.
Phil you’re always be my number one singer. I grew up listening to your music since the beginning. And I know what you mean by saying retirement. We never retired we just get better. I’m so proud of you and all the hard work you have been though. You’re s lucky boy. Thank you Phil for all your music. And always being who you are. God Bless you and your family always.
Phil, family is so important. I pray your wife and you are communicating openly and honestly. May life ahead be nothing but happiness for you and yours.Thank you for all your touching and beautiful lyrics and music. .
Love so much, Phill! Thank God for him get out of retirement. His music is energy for so much people in his worst days. Phill Collins, a true legend. And legends never die. Phill And his music, are inmmortals. Greetings from Chile 😄💗😄
I hope I get a ride from you next time I go to City of Hope hospital. I cannot drive due to cancer but, UBER and LYFT drivers have become my friends. I even have done Radio Commercials in my home/studio with a Lyft driver who always wanted to do VO. He was so full of EMPATHY and caring as I came home with tubes in my neck after 'C' surgery, I gave him his chance! He played DARYL HALL MUSIC all the way as we talked. Great trips. He gave me 14 rides to and from hospital. Amazing!
Phil Collins is one of my very favorites. Wonderful man, superb drum player, great singer, awsome person, fantastic songs....I just love him and his music.
THIS MAN IS A TITAN !!...BLESSED WITH SO MUCH IMAGINATION AND SO MUCH POWER OF CREATION ...AMAZING SONGS OVER 2 DECADES...VERY ORIGINAL AND NATURAL...THE WORLD WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT HIS SONGS...MUSIC ART WOULD BE SO POOR WITHOUT EVERYTHING HE GAVE US ...A SOUND CREATOR AND A TALENTED SUCCESSFUL SONG WRITER...A DRUMMER.... GREAT COMPOSER ..AND VOCAL INTERPRET ALSO...GOD MUST HAVE LOVED PHIL WHEN HE CREATED HIM...THE WHOLE CREATION LOVE PHIL ..I THANK GOD HE CREATED HIM BRING JOY IN OUR LIVES WITH ALL THE SONGS HE WROTE...I LOVE THE MAN !!!! ...( Marius M...musician from south east Europe)
One of those great rock drummers who understood the importance of groove - like Ian Paice, Michael Shrieve, Graham Lear, John Bonham etc. Long live Phil!
Great musician and I like the man too. Been living life and all it's ups and downs like the rest of us... Glad you're still with us. Lots aren't for lots of reasons. Thanks Phil.
I am so happy to see this piece. I can't put it into words why, but I have always felt like I knew this man. Lucky enough to see him in Frankfurt Germany in '84. I hope he is well.
A god no..you see if he was a true god the one and only god he wouldn't be struggling with physical illness..no Rock musicians..Actors or Actresses are not God or Gods..
My aunt jo Chester was the official tour promoter for Phil Collins and genesis in 1980s and she took me to all the uk gigs and I was backstage on the last night of The genesis tour 3 Sides Live ..What a great childhood I had for a 14 year old boy to be mixing in that circle I’ll never forget ..
Phil Collins💕 was such a favorite singer, musician of mine back when I was a teenager in the mid 80's and 90's. I loved his singing so much! His singing helped me be a better singer. Too sad he suffered 3 divorces. Please Phil Collins come to Michigan!!
The first music I remember hearing in my whole life was my parents playing a phill Collins CD in the car when I was about three. Thanks for the music Phil
Air of the night.. they are playing in the background.. Iv'e not heard it in years and it STILL gives me chills, no kidding.... I saw him in concert in the mid / late 80's it was the most amazing experience and I will never forget it. The smell, the night, the breeze... The warmth and emotion of the audience. The tears the feeling of love. Everything all at once to the point of almost not being containable. He was there with every single relationship and every singe life experience while I was growing up. I posted ass moment ago I almost got a tear while he said he is coming back. I am still listening now (7:15) and well.. the tear came damn it.
I've been his fan since the Tarzan movie (don't trip, I was born in the 90's lol) since I heard "You'll be in my heart" I felt in love with his voice, to my surprised one day I found that my dad had the "No jacket required" vinyl and bam! I got hooked. By the time I was a teenager and before youtube existed I watched his videos at vh1 (remember when it was a cool channel ?) and of course Genesis, then I was looking for his appearances at "Miami Vice" , "Buster" interviews and so on.... Phil, your music has been a very important part of the soundtrack of my life in some very, very special moments, one of them my wedding day. I got the pleasure of reading your autobiography and I felt very sorry for those difficult years you had to endure during retirement, you are strong, talented and amazing. Thank you for your music.
Jeeeez how fast time passes by... Phil was the hero of my childhood and had quite a big role in my starting to play the drums. God bless this wonderful man!
Phil Collins, I could say, was the first artists I remember from my childhood that got me interested in rock music. Back in the 1980's, there were favorites, like Def Leppard, David Bowie, KISS, Ozzy Osbourne but it was Phil Collins with the 1982 album "Genesis" that really sunk me into the Classic Rock era of music. He's still my favorite pop.rock singer and always will be. Other music artists, critics and fans have criticized his work but to us fans, he'll always be our favorite. I can't wait for him to release a new album.
It was great to hear about Phil and his legacy. It was mentioned he thought about doing himself in but he didn't cause of his family. Not being able to play drums anymore must have made him want to crawl up walls but he had support to keep going and singing. Many thanks to Phil for his songs and "You'll be in my heart" says it all.
Still trying to figure out why you thought you ever needed to retire to begin with !?! I understand kids and family but I guess it was an existential crisis too. You are Phil Collins! You share your insides with us and we want to hear it because it speaks to our insides too! Please don’t ever leave again, just take it easy... we’re here with you!
My drumming idol by far. Always have dreams that I get to watch him show me how he played a lot of old Genesis songs...Just Phil and I. Then I wake up :(
Phil Collins is on my short list of people who are not allowed to ever leave us...love this man so much.
Neil😭
Phil got me through the finish line at the Boston Marathon 3 times. The love is incredible. Thank you Phil.....
I do agree.
Same!
He's beautiful. WONDERFUL!!!!
I love this man. I love his voice. I love his musicianship. I love his songs. I love his albums. Welcome back, Phil. Hang out much longer. God bless you!

So you regurgitated other peoples untruths - good one!
Same here bleep 77
I really Love Phil Collins
People doesn’t realize the sacrifice that artist make for their passion and their fans. My respect
I’ve seen a lot of his interviews and he admits how much it hurts his body then he’s going on tour again. He just loves being on stage. He was meant to be there (on stage) forever.

absolutely one of the greatest rock drummers of the 70s. Pretty underrated actually

@@coolcat6303 and Band Aid that was him on the drums in that
also he performed at both Live Aid in America and in England
April Dannette Gosa Yep. The only artist to do both shows in the same day.
No he wasn't get a grip.
He's so loved by millions of us still 2022.
And in 2024 too
I have missed Phil so much. It’s his voice and his sense of humor as much as it is his songwriting, and, yes, his drumming, but I will enjoy seeing him again performing in any way he is able. Welcome back, Phil!
(great interview - thank you!)
Ivan Craig I am glad they both went solo. Are you to? Their solo work has been amazing.
nmeunier I agree.
Wish him full recovery. He is a legend
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love♥️ and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Phil Collins first class drummer, singer, actor, songwriter, producer and a super inspiration and super hero for all.
He is not only a great musician, a real giant, but also a great guy.
Ditto. A great guy he is, indeed.
@@pb12661 what businesses is it of yours to say?
They can’t handle a person this talented and they have to make jokes to hide their jealously.
@@ab932 What do you meaN?
Phil is so precious. He reminds me of me with his sensitiveness and alcoholism. And he's also really sweet. I feel for him and love the man.
I couldn't have had my childhood without this man!!!
Phil's best drumming can be heard during his formative years recordings, when he was in his 20's and 30's. Unbelievable creativity and perfect accompaniment to the music he was playing. So multi-talented.

Saw him live two years ago, can't explain how good he is and still is.
makes me sad seeing people ageing ,, gaod bless Phil ...the kicking post of music
Welcome back Phil Collins! All of us can relate the memories of our childhood back to his music and all other 80's music!
except those of us who weren't children in the 80's lol
Phil Collins is with me more than before now !
I get reminded OFTEN.
I'm told regularly I look like him, really look like him. 😁😁
I was so sad to have seen him on stage (on TH-cam) with that paralyzed leg...I couldn't believe it!!!...But i find here a peaceful man, full of optimism, and surrounded by love!!! I can't get tired of his voice and his songs...... Thank you for laoding this amazing interview, greetings from France!

Steve Perry, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel. three of my favorite and greatest singers of all time. They were my childhood in the 80s.
Michael Comandatore I’ve seen Peter Gabriel live in concert. Looking forward to seeing Phil next year.
I met peter Gabriel back in the day and I had back stage passes. Peter was the singer of genesis then and I didn’t care to much for he was arrogant and he ignored the fans coming back stage. Phil Collins actually came by me and my friend and sighed autographs and took time to show me and my friend around backstage and even introduced us around to the band and crew.

Been a fan of him since '76, Genesis Trick of the Tail album. What an amazing journey it's been for him. Love you Phil.
Phil Collins best singer... Legendary... Genesis
im 26 years old, thanks dad for teaching me good music, phill collins, genesis legens forever
Everyone has a favourite Phil Collins song ..impossible not to...
I'm so emotional about the tour which was announced recently, I am certain I will be shedding tears of joy the entire set. There will never be another like Phil.
Will you be attending one of his shows?
Just saw genesis a week ago incredible experience.
One of the best front men I've ever seen on stage. So full of energy and spirit. Not to many performers can come from a huge mega band and try to make it into a successful solo career. He sure did. Glad he's back with us.
My wife and I seen him in Charlotte last year - it was ridiculously amazing!! He sounds same as when Face Value came out!! And his son does helluva job on the drums! Bravo!!
Great interview, raw & meaningful & not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions. Really interesting. Phil is the real deal.
and he got answers.
I love Genesis, I love Phil Collins. Bless him, I can't wait to see him in concert.
Saw him back in 1990 and he was great. He did a 3 hour show with his songs as well as some Genesis songs. You forget how many hits and songs you know he has made. An entire 3 hour show filled with great songs.
Mr. Collins is absolutely LEGENDARY. His music will never get old. Also, one week till I see Phil on tour.
Frank honest and from the heart One of the greatest performers who has made music for over 40 years !!! Thank you for coming back...The world missed you!
I've loved this man and his music for 40 years. He has a big piece of my heart. I can't wait to see him again in concert. It will be my 11th time seeing him. I don't care if he has to sit during some of it, or if his voice isn't as strong. If he is there performing them I will be there.

Phil Collins will always be #1 vocals and Drummer. You rock Phil. God Bless
One of my heroes, still alive and making it! Congrats, Mr. Collins, and thank you!
It makes my heart swell when I see Nick play. How fabulous.
Andrew Nichols You should really see a heart doctor... swelling of the heart is a very serious condition..
While I would love to see him back on the drums, i am just as happy to have him on the mic. And incredible voice and an amazing songwriter.
Phil is huge influence to me .
As a pro drummer myself I took much of his attitude on and off the drums. I built a Phil Collins tribute kit two years ago
His sons favorite drummers, John Bonham, Chad Smith, Phil Collins. Mine too, must be a great kid . What a buzz that must be for Phil .
Soul Drummer agreed. Except for Smith.
Poor old Chester would be nice to mention him also
Steve James
No mention of Carl Palmer either!
Soul Drummer expected Gavin instead of Chad
ShadowAngel 50? More like 500, maybe 5,000! :)
Write an autobiography...I'll buy 10 copies...#1 fan forever.i feel your pain mate...71already.the shows flew by with the years...
He's written one in 2016!!.... "Not Dead Yet" it's brilliant! And the audiobook of him speaking it is amazing!!
I absolutely love Phil Collins’s music.
Adore Phil Collins! Been a fan since I was a young teen (80's). Sad to what he has been through, but very happy that he's still got "it", absolutely Legendary! And Nick, OMG, he is the spitting image of his dad, if you look at images of Phil as a young teen.
Nick is the spittin' image of young phil.
One of the best musicians in the rock history!
Every song he sang brings back memory’s. It hits you and you could feel it come back
TY Mr.Collins is all I have to say from an 80s teen..

If he was a gay porn actor he would be Fill Colons
The drunk tour - Tom Collins
These days he’s pretty Chill Collins
There is a tribute band named Still Collins here in germany. Great band, great voice. Go check them out...
Phil Collins is and will always be #1...I have never loved a singer like him in my life.

These songs have him all earned his retirement funds, which is ok of course. But musically ... that's not the meat.
"Do you remember", is my favorite song, period!!! We said hello, goodbye; everyday, can't turn back the years, against all odds are all deep songs.
Phil you’re always be my number one singer. I grew up listening to your music since the beginning. And I know what you mean by saying retirement. We never retired we just get better. I’m so proud of you and all the hard work you have been though. You’re s lucky boy. Thank you Phil for all your music. And always being who you are. God Bless you and your family always.
Phil, family is so important. I pray your wife and you are communicating openly and honestly. May life ahead be nothing but happiness for you and yours.Thank you for all your touching and beautiful lyrics and music.

Love so much, Phill!

Greetings from Chile 😄💗😄
"Against all odds " was a great movie and incredible song .
I'm an Uber driver and as soon as the sun sets I play in the air tonight for my next passenger
I'm pretty sure you are one of the best Uber drivers ever.
"The Passenger" by Iggy Pop would be a good choice too
I hope I get a ride from you next time I go to City of Hope hospital. I cannot drive due to cancer but, UBER and LYFT drivers have become my friends. I even have done Radio Commercials in my home/studio with a Lyft driver who always wanted to do VO. He was so full of EMPATHY and caring as I came home with tubes in my neck after 'C' surgery, I gave him his chance! He played DARYL HALL MUSIC all the way as we talked. Great trips. He gave me 14 rides to and from hospital. Amazing!
Phil Collins is one of my very favorites.
Wonderful man, superb drum player, great singer, awsome person, fantastic songs....I just love him and his music.

Great musician and I like the man too. Been living life and all it's ups and downs like the rest of us... Glad you're still with us. Lots aren't for lots of reasons. Thanks Phil.
I am so happy to see this piece. I can't put it into words why, but I have always felt like I knew this man. Lucky enough to see him in Frankfurt Germany in '84. I hope he is well.
Phil is a God and always will be.....PERIOD!!!!
To you perhaps!! To me...he's a musician, nothing more! Period!

Damn right my friend and I can't wait to get a ticket to this legend; my teenage idle regardless of where the hell he is playing I am there.
A god no..you see if he was a true god the one and only god he wouldn't be struggling with physical illness..no Rock musicians..Actors or Actresses are not God or Gods..
all artist have such a sad stories.... with phill i have a personal attachment with his songs.... i grew up listening to them... a treasure for me
My aunt jo Chester was the official tour promoter for Phil Collins and genesis in 1980s and she took me to all the uk gigs and I was backstage on the last night of The genesis tour 3 Sides Live ..What a great childhood I had for a 14 year old boy to be mixing in that circle I’ll never forget ..
Phil Collins💕 was such a favorite singer, musician of mine back when I was a teenager in the mid 80's and 90's. I loved his singing so much! His singing helped me be a better singer. Too sad he suffered 3 divorces. Please Phil Collins come to Michigan!!

A legendary musician
The first music I remember hearing in my whole life was my parents playing a phill Collins CD in the car when I was about three. Thanks for the music Phil

Pure energy and light to Phil Collins. Peace Christo 👽🙏🙏🐕🐕🛸🛸👍🏻👍🏻🔦🔦✌🏻✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🕺🕺❤️❤️🎶🎶🤖🤖😇
Phil, thank you Sir.
I damn near got a tear when he just said he was coming back.. DAMN... OMG I am so happy for this.
Air of the night.. they are playing in the background.. Iv'e not heard it in years and it STILL gives me chills, no kidding.... I saw him in concert in the mid / late 80's it was the most amazing experience and I will never forget it. The smell, the night, the breeze... The warmth and emotion of the audience. The tears the feeling of love. Everything all at once to the point of almost not being containable. He was there with every single relationship and every singe life experience while I was growing up. I posted ass moment ago I almost got a tear while he said he is coming back. I am still listening now (7:15) and well.. the tear came damn it.
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love❤️ and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
I've been his fan since the Tarzan movie (don't trip, I was born in the 90's lol) since I heard "You'll be in my heart" I felt in love with his voice, to my surprised one day I found that my dad had the "No jacket required" vinyl and bam! I got hooked. By the time I was a teenager and before youtube existed I watched his videos at vh1 (remember when it was a cool channel ?) and of course Genesis, then I was looking for his appearances at "Miami Vice" , "Buster" interviews and so on.... Phil, your music has been a very important part of the soundtrack of my life in some very, very special moments, one of them my wedding day. I got the pleasure of reading your autobiography and I felt very sorry for those difficult years you had to endure during retirement, you are strong, talented and amazing. Thank you for your music.
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love♥️ and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Phil Collins KING !!!!!!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻✊🏻👍🏻✊🏻👍🏻✊🏻👍🏻✊🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎
We love you Brother good to have you back :-)
Jeeeez how fast time passes by... Phil was the hero of my childhood and had quite a big role in my starting to play the drums. God bless this wonderful man!
Phil Collins, I could say, was the first artists I remember from my childhood that got me interested in rock music. Back in the 1980's, there were favorites, like Def Leppard, David Bowie, KISS, Ozzy Osbourne but it was Phil Collins with the 1982 album "Genesis" that really sunk me into the Classic Rock era of music. He's still my favorite pop.rock singer and always will be. Other music artists, critics and fans have criticized his work but to us fans, he'll always be our favorite. I can't wait for him to release a new album.
All I can say is welcome back Phil all is forgiven..... Life time Fan . I’ve covered many of your songs at my gigs can’t wait for the tour
It was great to hear about Phil and his legacy. It was mentioned he thought about doing himself in but he didn't cause of his family.
Not being able to play drums anymore must have made him want to crawl up walls but he had support to keep going and singing.
Many thanks to Phil for his songs and "You'll be in my heart" says it all.
He is so light, god I love his songs, I so regret not marrying during his reign, he is such a nice guy. We love you pc and ty!
OH yes, please, Phil come back so I can see you live! Would pay any price!
Still trying to figure out why you thought you ever needed to retire to begin with !?! I understand kids and family but I guess it was an existential crisis too. You are Phil Collins! You share your insides with us and we want to hear it because it speaks to our insides too! Please don’t ever leave again, just take it easy... we’re here with you!
Damn, that was one hell of an interview. Thank you.
My drumming idol by far. Always have dreams that I get to watch him show me how he played a lot of old Genesis songs...Just Phil and I. Then I wake up :(
I've had dreams about that too
‘Do you remember’ is my favourite track ❤️ welcome back Phil Collins you bloody beauty!
An honest and good person. A genius musician too.
Pure AWESOMENESS... Thanks Phil...
Phill is a legendary artist, grew up listening to his song until now, pretty sad to hear whats goin on with him, but he is still my fav artist so far
What an absolute legend. I grew up listening to this man on the radio, he was my childhood!!!
