A drummer who's written a tune or two.

49                           PHIL COLLINS

Born 30th January 1951 in Chiswick, London, England. During the 80's Phil Collins was one of the worlds biggest music stars, highlighted by the fact that during Live Aid he played both in London and Philadelphia on the same day. He began as the drummer with the then Prog Rock group Genesis, and in the 80's if he wasn't working on a solo project he would be making a Genesis album. He left the group in the early 90's but since then he's been unable to replicate his earlier success, although his best work is consistently covered. In 2007 he embarked on a reunion tour with Genesis.
