He explained that the last time he tried was on the Genesis ‘The Last Domino?’ tour when his son Nicholas was playing drums.

He Finds Donald Trump “Unattractive”

His Favorite Genesis Song

He’s Made Amends with Paul McCartney
Phil Collins shared that he has made amends with Paul McCartney after a past disagreement. Collins explained that the issue started when McCartney made a comment about him being a big Beatles fan, which Collins felt was patronizing. However, the two have since spoken and cleared up their differences.
Among His Other Litany of Health Issues, He Suffers from Sudden Deafness
