Land of Confusion
No, gfy d-bag
Please don’t kill yourself like Keith Emerson because you think you can’t play anymore
I got a new found respect for Phil Collins, as he was a huge Alamo fan.
He had been buying Alamo memorabilia and artifacts, for years, to preserve them.
He has donated most of them to a museum in Texas, as I understand it.
He cares about our heritage!
Sad. Brilliant rock and pop musician.
I watched the Drummer First, and as a huge Genesis fan, I was just said, he looked like he has something very serious. I fear the worst.
Ironically, the other members of Genesis, all look great. I saw Steve Hackett last year perform the entire Foxtrot album.
He’s one of the greats. I love his music, but as VDH said yesterday, “We all must age.”
“For the blind who once could see, the bell tolls for thee.” — Neil Peart, “Losing It”
This is why it’s good to have more than one skill in life.
This is probably my favorite Phil drumming performance with Genesis...

I saw Genesis in concert at least a dozen times since 1978. I also saw Collins twice solo in the late 80s & 1990.
I have seen all the great rock bands of the 70’s & 80’s in concert and Collins was hands down the best front man i saw. Way better than Freddie Mercury and i saw Queen 4x.
Away from the stage Collins was a high maintenance nightmare who had bad break up after bad break up in relationships, contemplated suicide about 15 years ago and sustained an injury after falling down drunk trying to soothe his pain with alcohol...
His personal life was a train wreck.
Never cared for his music, but no one deserves a lingering sickness.

I’m sorry for him, father time can be cruel.
One of my favorites.

57 comments and no one has blamed his illness on the Vax? FReepers must be slipping!
I always thought Neil Peart was a good drummer, I always thought Caroline Corr was too. Caroline Georgina Corr (born 17 March 1973) is an Irish singer and drummer for the Celtic folk rock band the Corrs. Lay down some triples and quads lady. I’ll watch. Charlie would be proud.
