Very disturbing music headline

I was never a Genesis fan, but he was an ace drummer I do have to say.

I'd like to be as shit, talentless and poor as him.

Talentless? Hmm.

As a jazz/funk musician, I'm gonna have to disagree. His drumming is pretty much exactly what everyone wants - highly nuanced and developed sense of rhythm; great "groove"; responsive to other musicians; and some very very solid chops.

Not my choice - I much prefer Tony Williams; Buddy Rich; and Sput Searight (for a more modern flavour) - but a quality drummer.

His songwriting is also pretty on point - Sussudio is a solid tune with clear knowledge of harmony and theory, even though I don't think he was the guy behind the horn arrangements etc in the big band version (which, btw, is far superior to the pop version imo).

If he can't drum nowadays, though, then that's a bit gutting.

I was being sarcastic.

Ah, fair. T'internet doesn't always put sarcasm across well!

What can I say? I've sobbed many a drunken tear to that song........

I think our strikers are Phil Collins fans - they all love "I Missed Again".

Apparently old Phil has always been a bit "up himself".

One of my previous firms did work for Chelsea back in the Bates days. So the story goes Phil Collins turned up at the box office one day demanding tickets for a sold out game.

He was politely told all the tickets were sold and started giving it the old Charlie big potatoes - "Do you know who I am?" Etc and throwing a paddy.

He then comes out with, "I'm going to report you to the chairman. If Ken Bates were here now he would sort me out a ticket"

At which point Ken Bates, who was actually in the ticket office at the time and had heard everything, pops his head around the window and says, "No he wouldn't, fuck off!"

After seeing him on The Jonathan Ross show on Saturday, I'm not convinced the gigs will happen. Phil Collins could hardly stand up & looked to be in a lot of pain hobbling around

agree , i felt very sorry for him ...surely he cant need the money that much ...i would hope his health means more to him

I am a huge Genesis fan, both with Gabriel and without but I would not cross the road to watch Phil Collins sing solo.

"Phil is a physical wreck and his voice didn't sound great either.

He came across as a bit of a twat & somewhat like the Wealdstone raider."
