He had surgery for the situation, but the end result is that he cannot hold his drumsticks...

I've had In the Air Tonight floating in my head all week long. It's been ages since I've heard a Phil Collins song. It brings me back to my sophmore days in high school. Growing up we were huge Genesis and Phil Collins fans. I used to have all of his solo albums and mi hermano had all of Genesis' LP's.We were also huge fans of the original Miami Vice TV series and remember when In the Air Tonig...

The beggar. Sitting. Back against the light post. Hand outstretched. Shivering. Filthy. You can practically smell him but for the rain and wind. Is there an election going on?The kid on the bus. Shaved head. Dirty clothes. Legs crossed over two seats. No one can sit. No one wants to. Vacant eyes. Deep scar on the scalp. Constant putting on and taking off his hat tells some of his story. Reading...

Quite a few weeks ago now I had the Chart Show playing in my car when JK & Joel announced that Phil Collin's In The Air Tonight as at No 17. That's a bit - and I know this word is overused nowadays - random, I thought.Then a week or two ago my friends explained why and I saw the evidence for myself on TV...:It's quite good that downloads are now included in the sales - well they have been for ...

Lately, when you hear the name Phil Collins, you may immediately think about his more recent, and, uh.. commercial works (Sussidio?) - but I recommend to all another listen of his seminal first solo album, "Face Value". While the most obvious song associated with this album is the iconic "In the Air Tonight", I'm recommending a re-listen to "The Roof is Leaking".It sort of stands out - a story ...

After a semi-climactic, 30-year career, Phil Collins decides to call it quits. I have to admit. When I was a kid, I was embarrassed that my mom listened to Genesis and Phil. Now, they are a must-play at my upcoming wedding. There you go, they've transcended time. There's no better time than now to leave when you have left a well-carved impression in the mind of my generation and future ones.I s...

The mention of Phil Collins triggers some extreme reactions these days. Actually, I love the guy and I'm unashamedly a fan. Some of his recent material isn't up to the high standards he set at the start of his career, but there was a time when he could do no wrong. Powering Genesis to worldwide popularity in the 80s at the height of his own solo career, when he had string of number 1 hit si...

I just saw this new film today, which made me think about the old Phil Collins song that used to be the TV show's theme (or at least, featured prominently in it - can't remember). The film features, at roll credits, a new cover of this song by what sounds like a bunch of whiny young suburbanites. This cover spectacularily fails, though I have to at least give the band (whomever they are) credit...

Collins will still be able to sing and perform in the future.Here’s one final look at what else is happening this week…It looks like Van Halen will tour with Dave Roth in 2010Drummer Bill Kreutzmann has unveiled a cool new website

Really cool video for The Gorilla Run, where over 700 people will run the streets of London in aid of Gorillas (of which there are 700 left in the wild).Not really Music related i know, but Phil's rockin' in the background in this video too.

I've always thought this guy was very talented. I remember seeing this video even when it first came out and thinking about my ex-girlfriend. This whole album is amazing. "I Wish It Would Rain Down", "Father to Sun", All of My Life", "Another Day in Paradise" and this gem. I hope you can relate to this video on some level.

I was playing GTA Vice City Stories and got a little surprise when I saw that Phil Collins was a voice on the game. I thought it was coincedental, but then I saw that Phil Collins was also a character in the game. He even did a "live" rendition for a concert in Vice City. Here's that track.
