- For two decades Phil Collins was everywhere - radio, awards shows, movies and TV - before, just as quickly, he disappeared from the spotlight in 2008.
An Oscar, two golden globes and seven Grammys added to the pressure of fame and the strain of a third divorce eventually became too much.
Sunday Night's Denham Hitchcock sat down with the acclaimed musician as he came out of retirement, as he set the record straight on his turbulent career and explosive private life.

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!!!!
People doesn’t realize the sacrifice that artist make for their passion and their fans. My respect
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!❤️👏🏼👑🇬🇧
absolutely one of the greatest rock drummers of the 70s. Pretty underrated actually
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.
@@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.
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!
bleep77...apart from the fact he’s a tax dodger AND a hardcore Tory. And what a bore.
Jamis Ins There’s always gotta be that one miserable troll on every video message board and guess what? It’s YOU!
KoolCat. What makes you think I am ‘Miserable’? I’m a drummer with lots of work on. Very happy.
I don’t like over privileged Tories. And of you knew the music industry you’d be aware that I am not the only person who doesn’t like Phil Collins for a reason. Great songwriter though.
And why should I “Guess what”? I couldn’t care less about your opinion. I deal in facts. You in opinion. Wondering who the troll is?
@@jamisbillson4872 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.
bleep77...Of a multi millionaire dodges tax, votes Conservative and has the attitude he has...that makes him a arsehole in my world. A prick that has made some brilliant music. “Another day in paradise” (bit of a Copy if I remember rightly?) is genius. Even if he made a million genius songs...does that give an excuse for being an arsehole? It’s well known...probably on the Internet too. His politics are vile...but then he’s wealthy.
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?
I really Love Phil Collins
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?
I couldn't have had my childhood without this man!!!
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
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. I found him to be very nice and funny.
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 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.
Phil Collins first class drummer, singer, actor, songwriter, producer and a super inspiration and super hero for all.
Mr. Collins is absolutely LEGENDARY. His music will never get old. Also, one week till I see Phil on tour.
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.
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!!
I love Genesis, I love Phil Collins. Bless him, I can't wait to see him in concert.
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.
Everyone has a favourite Phil Collins song ..impossible not to...
I was so sad to have seen him on stage (on CZcams) 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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
Nick is the spittin' image of young phil.
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..
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! :)
One of my heroes, still alive and making it! Congrats, Mr. Collins, and thank you!
im 26 years old, thanks dad for teaching me good music, phill collins, genesis legens forever
Phil Collins will always be #1 vocals and Drummer. You rock Phil. God Bless
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.
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!
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.
Next tour will be named - STILL COLLINS
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.
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 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
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.
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 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.
Nah dude, he was best with his drumming for Genesis in the early 70s.
Steve Percoco Brand X is touring this year. Jones, Goodsall, incredibly line up.
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.
Steven Mason I saw Brand X in Seattle last year. It was stellar. Highly recommend!
The average Joe, but turned out his was the superstar we all loved.
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. 👍🏻
One of the best musicians in the rock history!
Love this guy 😍💗 very down to earth and brutally honest. I love the integrity 🙏💗
Collins had quite a few good songs but Against All Odds IMO, is one of the best songs ever written.
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.
It’s almost like stepping into time machine when I listen to “against all odds”
I cannot believe it’s true- now that’s a great great song.
I think of Rachael Ward in that movie.She's gorgeous
@@lunaliagingerbread8291
These songs have him all earned his retirement funds, which is ok of course. But musically ... that's not the meat.
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.
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.
WILLIAM KUYIDIKQ singer??
@@SPAZZOID100 Yes. What is wrong with that?
If I squint really hard, your name aaaalmost looks like.....Ph...i...l...Co......ll......no, it doesn't. Never mind.
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 😄💗😄
He's so loved by millions of us still 2022.
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. :(
Lucky Boy!
Phil Collins forever...
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 ...Legend.....Glad He Made It Through.......Waiting For The Album.
Gran baterista
Gran voz
Gracias Phil
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!
Not to forget Ginger Baker.
"Against all odds " was a great movie and incredible song .
An honest and good person. A genius musician too.
Phil, thank you Sir.
I remember listening to him as a little kid. I was hooked from the beginning!
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!
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 ..
Write an autobiography...I'll buy 10 copies...#1 fan forever.i feel your pain mate...71already.the shows flew by with the years...

That's the attitude Phil, at least he admitted his mistake, that's commendable.
Outside of a Journey reunion tour, this is the only other concert I would see.
Great interview, raw & meaningful & not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions. Really interesting. Phil is the real deal.
and he got answers.
Every song he sang brings back memory’s. It hits you and you could feel it come back
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

Excellent interview - some great questions asked there! Nice one Denham!
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.
.
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
TY Mr.Collins is all I have to say from an 80s teen..
AND ty for..Another Day In Paradise
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?
Two decades? More like four.
Phil Collins is the best
Tears 😭 God bless you, Nick!
Great short interview! The greatest “Phil Collins”
Amazing interview!
great drummer...
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
Genius. Thank you for all of the music.
