Phil Collins announces musical retirement

Phil Collins has announced that he is retiring from music.

Having completed a reunion tour with Genesis, the multi-instrumentalist has said in a newspaper interview that he has no plans to tour or make another album.

Collins told The Times that he will continue to write, simply because he does not know how to stop.

The interview quotes Collins as saying he is being more interested in his collection of memorabilia from the Battle Of The Alamo.

Collins added: "It's not that unusual for a man of my age who grew up reading Davy Crockett."

Collins was speaking ahead of his appearance on Sky Arts TV series 'Songbook'.

But he also re-ignited an old feud with Noel Gallagher. The Oasis man famously said ahead of the 2005 general election: "Vote Labour: if you don't and the Tories get in, (Collins) is threatening to come back from Switzerland, and none of us want that.

Collins said of the comment: "I don't care if he likes my music or not. I do care if he starts telling people I'm a wanker because of my politics. It's an opinion based on an old misunderstood quote."

Meanwhile, 'Life On Mars'/'Ashes To Ashes' actor Phillip Glenister has come out as a Genesis fan, and will host a Q&A session at the premiere of the band's forthcoming DVD in London on May 20.

Glenister says: "What a great opportunity to meet a band I have loved for years, and now Gene Hunt is here to make Genesis cool and to show people just what they have been missing. Fire up the prog!"

I'm pretty sure this is nonsense. Besides the fact that Collins is the kind of person who will never retire, having already done so on at least two different occasions and then reneged on it, I'm also pretty sure that I bought a Genesis DVD called Songbook a few years where Phil said he was retired then.

He'll be back for the Lambs Lie Down On Broadway tour in a few years.

okay, the absolutely dvd is the second best news of the day

collins clearly misunderstands - that's not a criticism of his politics, it's a flat out statement that nobody likes him

That's sad. Who am I going to hate now? The older I get the less fussy I seem to get and the fewer 'artists' I hate.

Oh i dunno.Driving the company car back from London a few weeks ago and searching in the glovebox for a CD and finding only a choice of Queen , Erasure or Phil Collins' Greatest Hits i opted for Collins.And it was great!! Great driving music

According to (my interpretation of what it says in) Eric Clapton's book, PC was a yooge cokehead.

Can you imagine anything WORSE that that little gimp wanting to talk about himself all night?

No Jacket Required is a classic, but he's a little fanny.

There. I've said it and I'm glad I've said it.

Now put it in your pipe and fuck off.

ARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!

OH GOD NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have one thing to "thank" PC for.....it's his doing that Barney is New Order's singer.

Heard an interview once where the patter went something like.....

"we all tried singing and Steve was by fat the best. But drummers singing always look like total cunts, look at Phil Collins".

And the rest, as they say, is history (and hessticking to it).

Why are we talking about him. I thought he disappeared ages ago. Let sleeping dogs lie.

OH I just had an ugly thought that there is a best of in the works.

why do people dislike phil collins.

Animadversion wrote: why do people dislike phil collins.

because he was very overexposed for his limited talent and became an egotistical twat

because post-Gabriel Genesis and Collins solo career offered few items of lasting value and is best forgotten

sure "In the Air Tonight" might be okay to hear again, but why "Invisible Touch"?

because Phil Collins prolly should have been a bastard bus driver instead of a bastard "pop star"
