Collins enjoyed massive success with Genesis and as a solo artist, producing hits like “I Don’t Care Anymore,” “In The Air Tonight,” and “You Can’t Hurry Love.” After 25 years with Genesis, he shifted focus to jazz, film scores, and solo projects. In 2017, he planned a reunion tour with Genesis for “The Last Domino?” tour, but it was postponed due to the pandemic. Health issues have since limited his ability to play drums, leading to his son Nicholas taking over drumming duties while Phil continues to sing.
Despite these challenges, Collins remains passionate about music. His story is a testament to adaptability and resilience in the face of physical limitations. He expressed mixed feelings about continuing to tour, acknowledging that some activities might be beyond his reach now. This realization has been difficult for Collins, as it involves weighing the love for his craft against the physical demands it entails.
