Phil Collins

Anobody seen this clip of Phil Collins taken a few days ago.
Hard to imagine that he is going on tour with Genesis in a few months…

During his last solo tour, I think 2019 or early 2020 he entered the stage in a wheel chair or on a walking stick the best days, and get seated on a stool, and sung the whole concert seated. I guess he would do the same with Genesis

All I say is good for him!

Of course, if he still can sing and being for two hours or more seated singing, good for him! and for the enjoy of his fans.

I decided not to buy tickets for this Genesis reunion because part of the fun of attending their concerts was Phil playing drums, and he can't do it no more. His son is very good, even better than him, but it's Phil Collins playing drums what I want to see. And I saw it in 2007 in the last Genesis reunion, so, that's check on my list!

I totally get that reason for you. I guess you have your happy memories of Phil in better times....

Yes, Phil's dance with the tambourine in "I know what I like" is something to be miss now that "he can't dance"

I suppose you could question why he still does it, as I'm sure it's not for financial reasons.....

It might be for financial reasons, he had another wife take him to the cleaners recently.

Wow!!!!

All this proves is that he's still alive and that he can wave his arms around - this was filmed in January btw!    Since then he grew a huge beard!

Barely a glimpse of Phil himself.  That should send alarm bells ringing.

Without Chester Thompson it's totally uninteresting to me anyway. I listen to Genesis a lot the last months and boy where they good even in still in 1992.

Great stage by the way.

Phil Collin's son, who is the drummer, is really really good. I like him more than Chester. Actually what I would miss is not Chester but the fact that there won't be any drums duets as Phil usually played along with Chester in most songs during the instrumental parts... now Phil can't play.

I saw some clips of the last Phil Collins tour, songs where there is a prominent drums parts, and boy, the kid plays amazingly!

Phil remains seated all the concert, sadly, so no drumming from him. But he still can sing very well.

[qjamesfloyd]

Ok, so Phil can't play the drums anymore, which is a shame, but he is still the front man, he still brings his unique voice, and although he isn't a founding member, he might aswell as be as he goes back far enough in the history or the band and is still there. Most people will goto see/hear Phil not his son, no matter how good he is.

That video is from January. They gathered to rehearse in different periods, just in case the situation allowed them to play their dates, but they had to reschedule, as everyone.

They rehearsed again prior to what they expect are the definitive concerts, logically.
