Re: Did you hear about Phil Collins

Poor thing - Though I never did like his voice
We have a friend who is a drummer and he will confirm what a strenuous occupation it is

Apparently Genesis are now talking about reforming once again. Phil Collins is definitely not playing drums anymore but he would retain his singing duties. Phil's son Nicholas would be drumming with the band.

Re: Did you hear about Phil Collins

I've always appreciated the music Phil Collins is responsible for, 'Tubular Bells' being the most memorable, for me anyway.

Looking for more information after reading this thread I found this from December 2018, the most recent news courtesy of 'Mr Google' that I could find:

Re: Did you hear about Phil Collins

Had a couple of friends went to see him last year in Newcastle and he sat most of the concert and just concentrated on singing and I must say his voice as lost a lot of its power as well.
All good things must come to an end I suppose.

Will always be remembered for some great music.
Don't think I would want to watch him struggle like that though.

My belief is he should just concentrate on writing more music and leave it to others to sing it.
But he as always been a limelight grabber so I suppose its to be expected he wants to be on stage.
Perhaps he may need the money after all he as had 3 wives and we all know how they like spending brass. Didn't he pay out £25 mill to one of them as a settlement not so long ago.

After all wasn't he estimated to have a £120 million left in his kitty on the Rich List.

Re: Did you hear about Phil Collins

Gosh is he really that rich Longfellow can you imagine having that much money.

Makes you wonder why he bothers struggling to perform....I can understand him wanting to make music but performing in front of thousands knowing people will judge and say he isn't as good as he used to be....very confusung

I have to agree there, nobody likes to see someone like Phil Collins struggling as he must do these days with his health problems.

Maybe it doesn't come down to money, it could well be that personally he gets so much out of what he does that to give up on that might be what he is struggling against. It must be personally devastating to be forced to give up on something you really love doing and have done for years.

I remember reading that about his son a while back too, Floydy. Have never heard any more though.
