So? Didn't Gabriel use a cane as a stage prop. Genesis now need the cane!

Phil announced his retirement in 2011...

"He went on to reject suggestions he was quitting the business because of "dodgy reviews or bad treatment in the press" or because "I don't feel loved",..."


That need for adulation can be hard to let go of for some.

I simply don't get it and never will. Ticket prices at London's O2 in 2 weeks time, start at £180 rising to over £800?? To see a mere shadow of what they were? Why would you want to see Phil in this condition? Why wouldn't you rather pay £20 to see Magenta or Mostly Autumn in a more humble, regional venue? Confused

Personally I'm for sure not going to see them, as musically they haven't interested me much now for a long time. However more than one person I knew died recently not reaching 60, so if Phil Collins does concerts at 71 on a chair with a cane, good for him.

Poor old Phil may be looking increasingly frail these days as he battles against ill health and old age, but at least he's still with us. Smile

I've seen several videos of the shows taken by people in the stands. His voice has really changed and some of it has to do with being seated while singing. To belt out some of the vocals you really need to be standing. The two backing vocalists are mostly covering for him when he reaches lyrics that need to be held for awhile. They seem to have lowered the key their playing in to match his voice even more so than they did in 2007. To be honest, some of it is a bit difficult to listen to. 

Having said that, he justly deserves credit for continuing to be active in his condition. 

The one positive I can find in his voice is that sometimes it gives off a rather sinister vibe. Where they should be taking advantage of this is in recording a new studio album that would be much darker in tone to what they've done in the past. That type of voice would work well with something like the music of Devil Doll or Sunn O))). But obviously, the band has no intention of releasing new material and I can't imagine them making such a dark-sounding album.

I wouldn't attend a Magenta or Autumn gig if you paid me 20 (or 800, FTM) and it was next door.Big smile
AAMOF, I'd probably call the police to find a way to stop it from happening  Clown

Fortunately, he Gen tour doesn't come to Belgium, so I won't have to stop them.

I was about to call Wladi the Putina to invade us to stop them.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
