Phil Collins Is 'Definitely Retired' According to His Son

Phil Collins—the unmistakable voice behind some of music’s most iconic moments—returned to the stage in September 2021, and fans around the world are still in awe. After more than ten years away from live touring, he reunited with Genesis for their long-awaited The Last Domino? Tour and delivered a performance that was both emotionally charged and musically electric.

🎶A Night to Remember with a Band That Defined an Era
The comeback kicked off at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, where Collins, joined by Genesis members Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, performed live for the first time in 14 years. Though health challenges now require Phil to sing seated, his voice carried the same depth and emotional weight that made him a legend.

From the chilling start of “Mama” to the crowd-swaying finale of “The Carpet Crawlers,” fans weren’t just attending a concert — they were part of a powerful moment in music history.

🥁A Father-Son Moment That Melted Hearts
Making the night even more touching was the appearance of Phil’s son, Nic Collins, on drums. More than a passing of the torch, Nic’s performance brought an emotional resonance that resonated deeply with fans. Seeing father and son create music together made the show feel intimate and unforgettable.
