Music legend Phil Collins held his last concert ever amid his ongoing health issues.
Collins was joined by Genesis bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks for their last show ever at London's 02 Saturday evening. Collins, 71, performed the show sitting down and quipped to the crowd he will now need to find a real job, the Daily Mail reported.

He’s a huge lefty but his talent was substantial.
I hated his music when I was a kid and it was all over the radio. Now that I’m older I kind of dig it.
Funny,
I’m liking early
Michael Jackson now.
land of confusion
and they thought Reagan was bad.......
btw, there is some kind of story about using In The Air tonight before his first title fight against Berbick to get ready for it
For some reason, my favorite song by him during that era was "Easy Lover" which was a duet with Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire.
That song helped define the mid 1980s for me. One would not think that that would be the defining song of Phil Collins' career but for me that was.
Phil has some serious health issues and wish him well. It’s a shame they can’t continue performing. However I wish they would continue recording and perhaps they will.
I like his music. The problem was he was everywhere at the time, and overplayed.
He does have one silly pop song that still makes me cringe when I hear it.
I seem to remember that Genesys had lost its lead singer and he was the only one who had a chance of stepping up to the spot.
While his politics may have sucked, his undertaking of that role did wonders for Genesys, IMO. Who can forget, “Do you Remember?” His daughter, Lily Collins seems to be a hit in, “Lily in Paris” on Netflix.
I still don’t like it or him.
His daughter is a pretty popular actrress but I have never seen anything she is in
“Funny,
I’m liking early
Michael Jackson now.”
No question, the songs were good, and he sang like a little angel. What the heck happened.
Didn't matter what Republican was president. Pop stars have always realized what side their bread was buttered on. It was empty, hollow virtue signaling before virtue signaling was a phrase.
The modern version are suburbanites with the "hate has no home here" signs in their yards. They are what they say they are not. Ring the doorbell of one sporting those signs and announce you are canvassing for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
You will quickly find that hate lives there after all.
Be fair that video was Spitting Image, who mocked everybody.
Whatever did Sussudio mean?
He looks like he’s in his late 80’s, not his early 70’s.
I just finished reading Phil’s autobiography. He was very insecure of his position in Genesis. That’s amazing to me, since I thought he MADE them.
I’ve been a fan since the very beginning. Saw them live in Houston, in a small coliseum in the early 70’s, when Gabriel was prancing around in a dick costume. I was happy to see him leave. That’s when the band really started to take off.
Phil’s had a hectic life. Those guys performed a LOT! I saw them 5 times, over a period of almost 40 years… three different cities, two continents. Last time was in Olympic stadium in Munich. They went a long way from a dump hall in Houston.
A far cry from the days when Phil did the “Tarantella” with the tambourine.
