Phil is not only a national treasure of England, he is a treasure of the world.
Especial big part of free west world Dream
GENESIS
Yep.
Amen
they call me a reggae legend, im known for my vocals and drumming.. i now have stage 4 cancer and i have to testify, that Phil was my inspiration as singer and drummer. a different genre of music, but his techniques and abilities to place music into the hearts of people will always be honored... now in the hospital waiting.. i say.. give me one more night.. love you Phil.
I hope you make a full recovery and have many many more nights
OMG. This is so sad. I can't help but Wonder if your still alive? If you are Good job on an amazing recovery. If your not Rest in Peace guy. 🙏
May he rest in peace. Passed away on the 13th February 2020.
@@patscott8612 I'm sorry to hear. 🙏 He obviously had great taste in music.
Hope you are well bruv
I have never seen someone handle old age with such a sense of humor. Go Phil.
A singer-songwriter/drummer/writer/producer/actor whose music has been made the soundtrack of our lives. GOD BLESS PHIL.
Had the honor of driving Phil in a limousine and being requested 2 more times . The man Was Awesome !!!! Landed back stage several times. I’d kill to go back and relive it all over again!! An incredible gentleman and Phenomenal artist !!
Seeing Phil so frail is absolutely heartbreaking. Loving you forever Phil. xx
This man will be in my heart always... it just pains me so much to see his pain with the limitations he unvoluntarily has to endure. Just wish him all the best and love!!
Phil Collins is a very humble guy. All class.
If Phil lacked confidence, it never showed on stage. He seems supremely confident when performing. He was in total control of the band and the music. Rock solid. The perfectionist may never feel good enough, but we can all see result. Perfection.
You’d think people don’t care anymore, but against all odds, Phil’s fans are easy lovers of his legacy. Not just two hearts; but many. His music can be heard, even in the air tonight, if you listen close enough. It screams “take me home”, but with true music art, it can take time to appreciate it’s true colors, even if it takes one more night to realize that you can’t hurry love...(even if it’s the really groovy kind). So don’t wish that it would rain down on people who don’t like him. We need to hear both sides of the story as to why they’re musically leading separate lives from us, so that maybe one day...just maybe, we can live another day in paradise, on the way to heaven as we finally dance into the light.
John you are a genius putting all that together. Phil would be proud ❤
If you grew up in the 80’s you loved this guy. Such talent, unbelievable. I have every album he made solo and Genesis. Wow 100 albums sold , great success 🎶🎼🎵🎹🥁🎷🎺🎸❤️
- “How are the ears, ears are fine?”
- “Sorry?”
😂 Phil can be such a comedian when he wants to be !
I Never understood the hatred for this man and his music. Phil has dealt with tons of shit he didn't deserve. Im a musician myself and listen to quite some artsy/weird/alternative music but the pop music that phil made is just amazing. Fuck the haters. This is a great man. This man ruled the 70s/80s/90s and then decided to melt my generations heart with the Tarzan & Brother Bear Soundtracks! Just ordered his biographic book ''Not Dead Yet''
Big part of my life for 30 years. Nothing but big love for Phil Collins.
Chuck Arnold 40 for me..
That doesn't make you gay eirher well done
Oh ok. Thank you. I'm chilling to some old Genesis right now.
@@chuckarnold4042 can you recommend early Genesis you like please??
I don't really "get" their earliest stuff.... But maybe I could tell me where to start??
😊🙂
Thanks in advance 🙂
He was before my time but such a legend
Such a wonderful man, what a life, what a legacy he will leave to us all. Tremendous.
Physically he has deteriorated since this. Age can often be cruel. 4 years can make a big difference. Saw him in Newcastle on the 1st. To be able to sing with his condition takes great determination and grit. Hats off. One of Britain's great rock legends.
I noticed the same. I followed his tour in 2017 on YT and saw him live with Genesis last march. He has really deteriorated in 5 years. Slower, skinnier. That's what constant pain, immobility and (understandable) lack of exercise does to you. The live shows were his exercise.
Phil is downright unassuming, very well-grounded. just looking at him, you could hardly sense any superstar complex...ever the humble mega-artist that he is
How is this living legend not been knighted yet. Cmon HRH let's get him knighted
#SIR PHILL COLLINS.
the most Humble, genuine, down to earth guy, a Musician geniuse, and very very generous man u will ever know. the amount of artist (famous and not so famous), that have either worked with phill or required a part of his work is a huge testament to this living legend. I've been listening to genesis and phill Collins since I was 9yrs old I'm now 41 and still can listen to him all day long.
I so much agree with you Allen- Phil Collins should be KNiGHTED. He is so talented in many ways. Drummer-Plays Piano-Sings-Song Writer and great entertainer.
All my respect for Phil Collins. I love his talent and his personality. Not much more to say.
I've been following Phil Collins since the 1980 he is a total and complete genius his music transcend every culture no matter who you're
People age, have injuries & health issues..that's life. He's given us a huge amount of great music!
I think we always think the rich can buy themselves away from illness
I don't age. I will live forever
Thing is though - Banks and Rutherford are the same age as Phil. The difference is, Phil did all the work; Banks and Rutherford did fuck all. I was a Genesis fan from back in Peter Gabriel's day. Thing is, if Peter Gabriel hadn't walked away, he would probably be on his last legs, like our gorgeous Phil is now. So so sad,
Probably one of the the best drummers in the world ever.
And probably one of the best singer songwriters in the world ever.
Absolutely.
Gene Krupa, Don Henley, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, Pig Pen and Ginger Baker are just as great. Gene Krupa was the first international famous drummer.
@@pauldudakadanielthomson8890 notice that he said 'one of'
@@pauldudakadanielthomson8890 , yes. But this is a Collins thread. So, save all that.
An outstanding Drummer, super talented, vocalist, song writer, but not the best.... in fact "no one is the best"
To those commenting about slurred speech or "he's drunk" maybe you could watch more than one recent video. That would require effort, and I understand you're too busy diagnosing to do some research before criticizing. This was days after a bad fall that left wounds on his face, so they obviously have make-up on him. And he is no doubt on a painkiller. Watch other videos and you will find he is not slurring one bit. He is suffering from nerve damage, back and ear issues, and is not the same man he was years ago, but he is not deserving of the typical comment section BS.
Well said. Hope he makes it to America sometime before he retires.
To criticize Phil before knowing what happened to him days before this interview shows ignorance and being judgmental. Phil is a human being like the rest of us. He deserves a lot more respect than what some of you idiots are displaying. He's been through a hell of a lot!
Thank you, Phil, for sharing so much with us, who love you and your great work! We look forward to more of your music if that's what you decide to do in the future. God bless you , Phil!
Thank you for that comment.
Who is complaining about him?? You all sound as though you are personal Doctors of Phil. Phil would,nt give any of you a second look.
@@michaelmacluskie6089 dont be a dipshit. You have no idea what you're talking about
I don't have enough words for how much I love this guy - Phil, you are an incredible artist, musician and person, thank you for just being with us in our lifetimes - we are and have been truly blessed 🙏🏼
Was actually there, what an emotional unforgettable evening.
Such a huge part of my life journey xxx
Love our Hounslow boy 🙏❤️
My favorite Phil moment was when he won his first Grammy. The look on Sting's face was unmentionable - priceless.
Who’s Sting ? 🤣🤣😂🤣😂
Very difficult, brave. To do an interview in a hell of a lot of pain shortly after back surgery. With you all the way bud.
I was 5 yrs old when I first started to listen to his music..35 yrs later here I am 40 yrs old & he's still one of my favorite musicians. My friends all think I'm crazy cus I'm always listening to his music including songs from Genesis. I love dancing, cleaning, driving & sleeping to his music. My most favorite song of all time is "Rain down on me" I get chills all over every time I listen to it. I truly appreciate him for his music & his beautiful voice. And even after all these years..he's still very sexy to me.
I think you must mean 'I Wish It Would Rain Down', which was taken from Phil's mega selling 'But Seriously' album and also features his good friend Eric Clapton on lead guitar. That song happens to be my personal favourite of his, too. Great stuff.
He will slowly recover, he is a living legend we need to show respect
Phil should have stayed sitting in front of the TV pickling his liver with gin. He’s 3 sheets to the wind here listen to him slur. What a load.
@@b50262 Hey. Hey, you. Go play in traffic, you moronic twat.
He’s just..A..W...E..S...O...M...E..peace
@@jank8365 He really is, a terrific, down-to-Earth type of guy.
@@b50262 How about you just stay home and record more useless home movie aquarium videos literally no one else is interested in?
A brilliant interview with Phil Collins. Very natural conversation. Phil spoke with honesty and was deep thinking when remembering his life, success, memories and the people he met over the years. Very informative and entertaining conversation that helped those listening to understand Phil and his remarkable talents on the world stage! By far the best interview and it was enjoyed from the very beginning to the last words!
Seems no one got Phil's joke about his storing tons of Genesis + solo albums in his garage-it was witty. He is a GREAT drummer. Genesis is INCREDIBLE!
Nice one Paul. Well said
This generation doesn't understand 'records' or 'albums' they don't even get CD's. Streaming is all they know.
Paul Hester Phil has always had an excellent sense of humor. This is another example. Glad to see even with all he has been through, he is still the same lovable Phil.
Paul Hester
I got it
canturgan stop stereotyping. I’m a millennial and I stream everything (Apple Music primarily). However, I collect new and reissue vinyl records. So, as I said, stop stereotyping
He is amazing, he truly makes great music.
Probably the most consistently humble and emotionally open celebrity as far as his professional AND also his personal life-what I believe you Brits call “A Regular Bloke.”🇬🇧
*normal
Phil is such a nice guy. Everytime I listen to him talking I feel like he is a guy you could have a cold beer with - chatting like friends. Thank you for beeing such a funny musician. Selfcritical, sarcastic and fun.
Phil's musicianship is immortal. But Phil himself is mortal. Let's give him a break. We owe him that much. Just look at what all he has given us.
Phil Collins is a genius. Period.
PERIOD!!!! 💯
X3
Absolutely! Beyond talented
Definately
Perfect , mister Phil Collins ❤️ mais rien de comparable avec Mickaël Jackson , différents Phil est vivant à ce jour , heureusement , santé Phil Collins ❤️
I believe the band Genesis would’ve never survived without Phil Collins taking over as lead singer as well as the original drummer & songwriter. Phil Collins you are the best. God bless you for creating great music.
Phil is the most talented artist that has ever walked the earth . He could play multiple instruments , write incredibly and sing like an angel. As a matter of fact he's not of this earth he's an alien 👽.
Phil is great, but I'd argue that Paul McCartney and Jeff Lynne are just as talented. Both are multi-instrumentalists, writers and singers and Jeff also produces albums.
i've loved this man since i was 8 years old, he's just everything
I read the book... give it an A. If you like Phil, its a fantastic journey through life with him... the ups and downs. He puts it all out there. Well done Collins.
I love Phil Collins and his music he is a legend.
Yep.
Yep
No doubt about it !!!!!!
Phil as a part of that VIP club of 3 is the only one that did it simultaneously! 🌟🌟
❤👏👏🙌🙌❤
36:16 - his honesty is touching me. Love his brillant work both as a drummer and as a singer. 🥰
His honesty , the real him, calls my respect!
I remember seeing Genesis on tv and it was Phil who stood out on drums. He has a certain energy that shone through. Later when he replaced Peter it just lifted the energy of the band. Then his solo work was hit after hit. I just saw TOTP 1988 and he was No. 1, just him singing, pure magic, when everyone else was so manufactured. The common thread is Phil, he's multi talented, lovable and his songs have enriched me.
He’s such a legendary rock star... Aging sucks, it’s like a cruel joke.
I busted my shoulder in an accident two years ago and I live with pain daily, it's a real inspiration for me to see how Phil deals with something similar and still keeps going.
Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, and Phil Collins...sounds about right 🙂Phil seems to have had quite a few detractors in his solo career, but his talent, perseverance, and sheer energy he has put into his artistry is very special, and it's no accident that the greatest artists of all time happen to also work very hard at their craft, and take it very seriously.
He is a genius ❤️
“A band is as good as it’s drummer”. Soooooo true!!!
its
@@AndiB111 Oohhhh, you’re right! If you knew me you would know how much I pride myself in the proper use/spelling of words. It’s nails on a chalkboard when I see people commit grammar faux pas (i.e, their/there/they’re, etc). Sounds like you share my feeling on this!
I was there that day, still the greatest drummer the UK has ever known. Great sense of humour too. Love him!
That would be John Bonham.
Chris Chennell I agree 100%. He’s so incredibly talented and you cannot beat his sense of humor. It’s so nice to see him healthy enough to be able to be out again. Love to hear those songs, even demos, of those bits he has tucked away. Maybe someday.
canturgan
I knew someone would debate their opinion. What about Keith Moon and Mark Brziecki?
We're all entitled to our opinion. It's naturally subjective. He is a great drummer (and not given enough credit). He's amongst a legion of top class UK drummers.
@@canturgan I dont think Bonham would give your opinion two thoughts to be honest, he wasnt that kind of a guy. Mutual respect between all these drummers.
Such a shame all the promo stuff for the book came at the same time he had a fall, and was clearly on pain medication to help him through the various interviews he had to conduct. One of my drumming heroes, always played for the song, not to show off his ability. As a live singer he was one of the best, a fantastic musician and seems like a really nice guy. I was very lucky to catch the last ever Genesis show in London this year, it was a fitting farewell to him and a fabulous band. I wish him a long, healthy and happy retirement...
“ Follow You , Follow Me “ by Genesis . That’s my first Genesis song that actually made me fall in love ❤️ with Phil Collins and started following his career . Thank you 😊 for all the beautiful songs you’ve been making for us thru the years . Be strong 💪 God bless your life ! I pray for your good health . We love you and need your music . We are all getting older , nobody is getting younger . It just break our hearts to see our beloved artists with health issues . You are a legend , but for me feels like you are somebody from my FAMILY .
The heart in this man's music is unparalleled. Genius. Even if he does sound like Ozzy Osbourne in this interview.
I'm in love with this man, what an absolute joy.
I first became a 'fan' when I was 12, having been dragged to a Genesis gig that summer. I've loved him ever since, even though it made me unpopular at times with school friends - who just wanted to listen to Blur vs Oasis. I was never able to get tickets for his solo tours, and I'm so happy to have seen him again, 29yrs later. He looks so fragile now, but he's still there inside. That book of his is incredible, and it will be a VERY sad day when he does eventually 'shuffle off'. He'll always be a hero to me.
Sure miss seeing you Phil, I know illness can slow us down but we are strong, I have an autoimmune issue.I am 62 now vegan helped me tremendously, stronger now . God bless and stay safe, let God’s white light surround and protect you.🙏🏻✝️❤️
Best drummer of all time - change my mind if you've listened to 1970-1983 Genesis
Amazing stuff! Btw, are you related to Jordan Rudess? Dream theater logo and the last name 😎
@@danielkelley7548 Nah its a fake last name since my comments upset people sometime haha. Just a reference to my keyboard hero JR
Mine too. He's a really cool guy. Have you signed up for his JROC program? It's fantastic.
God bless you Phil. You are truely
one of my favorite artist of all time.
Take care of yourself Phil.
We crazy Americans ❤ U.
Love Phil Collins. He is such a talented artist. Wishing him all the best.
Phil Collins is a legend Love all the songs Thank you Phil Collins For all the great songs
Ive been a fan of Phil Collins since I was 10 years old in 1982. He is a great singer, songwriter and drummer, a wonderful legendary artist. It's amazing how Phil started out as a drummer for Genesis and then stepped in front to become the lead singer and then a solo artist. Phil Collins is truly amazing and wonderful.
My dad has had 3 x 12 hour back operations and takes Morphine daily.
I challenge anyone to criticize him.
Try walking a mile in his shoes. God bless him and thank you Phil Collins for your music
Listen to his autobiography, he reads it himself! It is awesome! I was in shock at the end.
Why?
Can't wait
@@slyfoxie55 Because Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's dad the whole time!!
@@Margar02 who tf are they? What have they got to do with Phil?!
It's a fantastic audiobook! It's great hearing him read it.
I just love his song.They all bring tears to my eyes of joy..pain..experiences..love...lost..hope..faith..I’ve been listening to him all my life and he always kept me thinking..Thank you Phil Collins for EVERYTHING...YOU ARE TRULY A LEGEND...peace
What a character he is. Love him.
I Love Phil Collins such a great man and artist
Well done Phil. What a drummer
My eternal love, Phil Collins
Ya iv frigged so much my pillow case is like news paper
@@elizabethdorchester5307 ahh you shouldn’t have to do that Elizabeth. Someone could look after that very well for you, gotta return the honours though lol. 😋
He awesome beautiful, gotta love phil....
Saw him 3 months ago in Boston. Absolutely phenomenal show! Took me several days to unwind from it all. LOVE YOU, Phil!!
I was lucky enough to be there for this. Front pew too! It was a wonderful evening.
did you get too meet him
Lucky you...
Did you meet him Lindsey?
People are so judgemental. I think he's just relaxed and comfortable. I loved this interview. I love you Phil Collins!
Hahaha, those pink fan glasses, they're strong ;)
C'mon, he's obviously taking something.
Stefan Turton - Yes. It's his affect. Slow, slurred speech. Rolling eyes, laughing at own cracks, can't maintain eye contact, finish sentences and sit still.
Can't judge the man because of prescibed meds. He clearly needs them. Just makes for a boring, self indulgent interview. This session was supposed to provide insight. It did, just not in a flattering way for Phil. He clearly isn't following prescibed med advice. I bet he was nervous & topped up before coming on. Poor fella.
Mick Van Watcher - Sure, though they're just comments Mick. As he says & as it comes across he's not terribly confident & gets quite insecure. His ex-wife must have thrashed his self esteem. BUT as he's flogging a book & with a willing audience you'd hope he has someone in his corner quietly saying: 'Phil, you're fine as is, no booze or extra pills needed for this gig. I feel really sorry for the bloke he sounds really unhappy.
Oh Theophilus... what a name...but you are so right !! Especially about the bit about his wife thrashing his self esteem ;( and man ooh man.. he had to go back to her... ;(
So thankful you took the time for this interview. I'm happy to know who Phillip really is. God Bless you Sir Phillip Collins and thank you for sharing your God Given Talents with the world!
A superb artist!
saw him on Sunday in Dublin he was so so good. worth all the money in the world thanks Phil 60 years of greatness.
So relieved (as the whole world of his fans would be...) that the beautiful soul, Phil Collins, is "Still Not Dead". Completed full reading of the auto-biography...so extremely honest in every way, extremely interesting and really is one of the very best reads available in that particular genre. Best Wishes and Good Luck to Phil and Thanks a Million for all your wonderful musical work. We love it all! A huge legacy now and always as part of thousands of happy human lives.
Phil Collins is definitely a living legend! Thanks for sharing. Love you Phil! ❤️🥁
Been a big fan of Phil Collins for years. Great artist and lovely guy. Love him and wish him all the best.
Same here Glynis

A true legend
My Goodness, how great a person he is! We LOVE you!
Love Phil amazing guy, brilliant drummer singer song writer, i hope his health picks up , sending him my best wishes...Legend
All my respect to Phil Collins, because he is an amazing musician, that I followed all these years. We are all getting old, but fall of knowledge and experiences. Just because of that he deserves respect! Bravo Phil!!!!
L E G E N D !!!!.....one of the BEST. drummer, song writer & sing amazing.

The essence of this man is very surreal. It just goes to show that if you have the will, the Strength and the Talent...nothing can Stop you but Yourself!!!..Amen Sir Phil and ty for the many magical moments in my Life..:)
He is a legend. Simply love his voice, his songs❤️Thank you Phil. You’re thee Best!
I believe he is just brilliant! This music has brought me thru some of the toughest times in my life!!!!.. Thank you so much for this brillance
He is a living miracle, listen to his book.
I prefer to read his music.
@@guiltseeker His audio book is read by himself.
The end was really funny! ''You heartless bastards!''.
I can feel the reverb in the air tonight.
Just two words Mr Collins:
Thank You.
Amazing musician. Thank you Phil thank you whoever uploaded the interview.
Love Love Love Phil Collins! Great seeing him!!! Wish I would have seen him in a live performance!
Legendary singer, drummer, producer, writer and what can't this badass do?
Love Phil Collins with all my heart, he is talented genius and still handsome. I love you Phil Collins always xx
I was thinking he'd been drinking, but now I'd agree with the pain meds idea. My husband just had his second back surgery. In my opinion, they seem to have him on too high of dosage, but then I'm not the one in his pain. I love Phil Collins, recently rediscovering him. I love that song 'I wish it would rain'. Can't say I've actually listened to very many of his songs before now. That last wife really did a number on him. His songs really say a lot. A lot of his heartache is in those songs. Love yuh Phil & I hope you're happy finally!
As some have said, Phil is one of the best drummers in the business. Anyone who doesn't really know his older music should listen to Supper's Ready, or Trick Of The Tail, Cinema Show etc. He and Chester formed one of the most formidable live duets in rock history. I was lucky enough to see the 'Gabriel' Genesis at Southampton Gaumont in 1973 for the Selling England By The Pound tour. And let's not forget his 'Brand X' project work. What a great interview by Richard Allinson as well. :-)
Thanks for mentioning the early works - I love this stuff, too. And I was lucky to be at some of his concerts - these were great moments in my life. Unfortunately I missed the Genesis-period with Peter, but at least I heard Genesis live in 1979, when they still used to play all the great stuff from the seventies, such as Ripples, Cinema Show, Supper's ready, Firfth of Fifth and so on. I also have been at the tour in 2007, which still brought the magic of Genesis on stage. So I give my deepest respect and love to Phil for what he has done and indeed Richard Allison is doing a great job as an interviewer. ;)
Couldn't agree more Phil, excellent interview!!
Actually one of my inspirations for being a drummer!!
He’s a legend my respect ✊ for you Sir.
200 hundred million albums sold .fucking hell. Hats off Mr Collins
