May 11, 2010 – The name Phil Collins reminds us of countless hits, huge arena tours and complicated drumming. How about the Alamo? That’s right Phil is a huge Alamo fan and was in Dallas last night to talk it with their Historical Society. 
Nov. 4, 2008 – Long before Genesis reunited with Phil Collins, there was talk of original lead singer Peter Gabriel re-joining the band. Now that talk might add up to a reunion of the most popular early line-up of the band which includes Phil Collins on drums, Steve Hackett as lead guitarist, Mike Rutherford playing bass and guitar, Tony Banks doing the keyboards and Gabriel. Banks says, "We've never said never about it, you know," He told Billboard. "I know Phil (Collins) would be quite happy with the idea of just playing the drums; it would be quite fun for him. Mike (Rutherford) and I are certainly happy to do it. I know Steve (Hackett) is keen as well. I think it'd be down to Peter (Gabriel) more than anyone else."
Aug. 20/08 – Phil Collins can now tell Paul McCartney he’s beaten him in something – divorce settlements! This has gotta hurt, the former Genesis lead singer has just been ordered to pay $46.68 million which ranks as the biggest ever celebrity settlement. McCartney’s was a measly $45.37.
June 26, 2008 – Phil Collins thinks that artists should only use their tunes in live concert tours. The former Genesis singer says he doesn’t approve of acts digging into the vaults to have their songs land on Broadway shows. He’s into writing new tunes for new shows like he did for Tarzan, “I would like to do a Broadway musical, well, not even Broadway, just a musical. I wouldn’t use my own songs, I don’t really approve of that. I don’t think it’s something I would want to get involved in.” In 1999, he scored the Disney ‘Tarzan’ film and wrote additional songs for the 2006 stage presentation in New York. Collins also said that the new German version of the ‘Tarzan’ would be a bit more sexy, not X-rated or anything but more racy. Though Phil recently announced his retirement from touring as a solo artist and Genesis he points out that he will continue to write new tunes and possibly record. – By
