Collins on his final tour
Published September 20, 2004
Phil Collins says his current tour, called My First Final Farewell Tour, will be his last because he wants to spend more time with his young children. Collins and his third wife Orianne Cevey, have a three-year-old son and the couple are expecting a baby in December.He told the New York Post: "I'm riddled with guilt about not seeing my other children grow up. I'm 53, and I feel differently about life. I'm doing this for all my kids. I want to be around so we can enjoy each other."
Switzerland-based Collins, who is reportedly worth £335 million, has an upcoming double album 'Love Songs: Old & New'. His debut musical, 'Tarzan', backed by the Walt Disney Company, is due to open on Broadway in 2006.
CMU reports, but the question is does anyone care about the Mr MOR? Well they might if he got off his arse and did a reunion with Genesis.
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.

If I have anything to do with it, he's only going to do a reunion with Genesis if he shuts up and plays the drums, and lets Peter Gabriel do all the singing.
On second thoughts, let's have Chester Thompson on drums, and not bother with the Arrogant Bald Git at all...
I agree with you for the most part, Tim, but I wouldn't mind seeing the stuff up to Duke live - just nothing past that, please!
they can drum together in vocal silence - no, Itake that back, Phil can do harmonies and take the lead for "Trick of the Tale" and then shut up
Oh, and the problem with Phil is that he became what at first he just pretended to be: a pop star
Testify sucked and since Brother Bear, Phil has only been getting WORSE!!!
Plus, that Love Songs album SHOULD have 'There's a Place For Us' on it and it doesn't. The 'There's a Place For Us' demo 'Stevie's Blues' and 'Hero' should have been included, too. What I'd REALLY like to see is a B-sides album.
Phil, if you're going to do a double set, do it right...
