Phil Collins performed his last concert

[Raindog123]

…with Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks of Genesis at the O2 Arena in London on March 26, 2022. Thanks Phil!

Thank God. If anyone can tell me how to ban him permanently from any streaming platform (specifically Tidal) I'd appreciate it.

 

[ryanosaur]

Man... I knew he wasn't doing well. Very sad to see, but glad he could rock it out again!

 

[JSmith]

ban him permanently from any streaming platform

Would rather Stevie Nicks was banned;

Maa maa...

[ryanosaur]

LMAO... Amen! If I never hear only thunders when it rains again...
At least with Phil I have some good memories, like slow dancing with our Drum Major back in HS during a band party.

 

[JSmith]

only thunders when it rains

I mean even that part is completely wrong!

Wow thought this was another obituary thread at first....

Precisely! Except imagine drum major instead a theater kook and she insist on only making out to Phil Collins exclusively and in the end she lights your car on fire.

Just bad association I suppose but anytime I start something off with Bowie or even Mark Knofler I guarantee Roon radio will follow it up with "In the Air Tonight". Yeah like the smell of burning car....

LMFAO!
I had my share of crazy girlfriends. Fortunately, none set anything on fire. Though I did have one disappear on me... call me from the hospital a week later and tell me she tried killing herself.
That didn't involve either Phil or Stevie, at least.

I had one girlfriend telephone me at 4:30am and said she is killing herself. So I telephoned back and got her father involved. She turned out to be a control freak. It was a good day the day I got rid of her as a friend.

 

[Doodski]

I've never been into Phil Collins. Way back in the 80's when he was making hits and before when he was in Styx I was not into that.

 

[ryanosaur]

when he was in Styx Genesis

FTFY

 

[Doodski]

FTFY

Hahha. Brain misfire. I'll leave the mistake... makes for good laughs...

 

[ryanosaur]

Like you said, you weren’t into him.

 

[Doodski]

Like you said, you weren’t into him.

I remember now there is one song I like.

 

[GD Fan]

He performed sitting in an office chair?

Hmm... Tough to see that being a riveting performance.

Edit: Was it on Zoom?

 

[Mnyb]

Being an Genesis fan in my youth , I sort of didn’t like the the “ Phil Collins “ Genesis that much.
Both nowadays I came around to like Phil more . Some of his songs are good , even if they are overplayed on commercial radio ( same goes for Peter Gabriel on Swedish commercial radio it’s basically 4 songs )

Yes he has had back surgery... can't drum properly anymore either, poor bloke.
