الحياة المبكرة

ولد فيليب ديفيد تشارلز كولينز في 30 يناير 1951 في تشيسويك ، ميدلسكس ، وهي الآن جزء من لندن بورو في هونسلو . [20] كان والده ، جريفيل فيليب أوستن كولينز (1907-1972) ، وكيل تأمين ، وعملت والدته وينيفريد جون كولينز ( ني سترينج ، 1913-2011) كوكيل مسرحي. [21] [22] تنافست أخته كارول كمتزلج محترف على الجليد وشقيقه الأكبر كلايف رسام كاريكاتير مشهور. [23]

حصل كولينز على مجموعة طبول لعيد الميلاد عندما كان في الخامسة من عمره. جعله عمه فيما بعد مجموعة مؤقتة كان يستخدمها بانتظام. مع تقدم كولينز في العمر ، تبع ذلك مجموعات أكثر اكتمالا اشتراها والديه. [24] تدرب من خلال العزف مع الموسيقى على التلفاز والراديو. [25] وفقًا لباربرا سبيك ، مؤسس مدرسة إيست أكتون المسرحية ، حضر كولينز لاحقًا ، "كان فيل دائمًا مميزًا ؛ في سن الخامسة دخل في مسابقة مواهب بوتلينز وهو يغني" ديفي كروكيت "، لكنه أوقف الأوركسترا في منتصف الطريق ليخبرهم أنهم كانت في المفتاح الخطأ ". [26] درس كولينز أساسيات الطبل عندما كان مراهقًا ، وتعلم أساسيات الطبول أولاًLloyd Ryan ثم درس لاحقًا تحت قيادة فرانك كينج. يتذكر كولينز: "الأساسيات التي وجدتها مفيدة جدًا جدًا - أكثر فائدة من أي شيء آخر لأنها تستخدم طوال الوقت. في أي نوع من طبول الفانك أو الجاز ، تكون الأساسيات موجودة دائمًا." [27] لم يتعلم أبدًا قراءة وكتابة الرموز الموسيقية التقليدية ، وبدلاً من ذلك استخدم نظامًا ابتكره بنفسه. [25] أعرب لاحقًا عن ندمه على ذلك ، قائلاً: "لم أستوعب الموسيقى أبدًا. كان يجب أن أتعامل معها. شعرت دائمًا أنه إذا كان بإمكاني عزفها ، فبالنسبة لي ، كان ذلك جيد بما فيه الكفاية ، لكن هذا الموقف سيء ". [27]

كان لفريق البيتلز تأثير كبير مبكرًا على كولينز ، بما في ذلك عازف الدرامز رينجو ستار . [28] [29] [30] تابع أيضًا فرقة لندن الأقل شهرة The Action ، والتي كان يقوم بنسخها وعرّفها على موسيقى الروح في Motown و Stax Records . [28] وقد تأثر كولينز أيضا موسيقى الجاز و عصابة كبيرة الطبال ريتش الأصدقاء ، [31] التي الرأي حول أهمية مرحبا قبعة دفعه إلى التوقف عن استخدام اثنين من الطبول باس والبدء باستخدام مرحبا قبعة. [27] أثناء الحضورمدرسة مقاطعة تشيسويك للبنين ، شكل كولينز فرقة تسمى Real Thing ، وانضم لاحقًا إلى Freehold ، حيث كتب معها أغنيته الأولى ، "Lying Crying Dying". [32]

مهنة

1963-1970: أدوار التمثيل المبكر والشباب الملتهب

بدأ كولينز دروس التمثيل الاحترافية في 14 في مدرسة Barbara Speake Stage ، وهي مدرسة مستقلة مدفوعة الأجر ولكنها غير انتقائية في إيست أكتون والتي أسست والدته وكالة المواهب.

[38] قام كولينز باختبار أداء دور روميو في مسرحية روميو وجولييت (1968) ولكن الدور ذهب إلى ليونارد وايتينج . [39] [40]

على الرغم من بدايات مهنة التمثيل ، لم ينوي كولينز أبدًا متابعتها بشكل احترافي وانجذب نحو الموسيقى التي كان والده أقل حماسًا لها. [35] في عام 1969 ، غنى في فرقة دعم جون ووكر في جولة أوروبية ، والتي تضمنت أيضًا روني كاريل وجوردون سميث على الغيتار وبريان تشاتون على لوحات المفاتيح. بعد الجولة بقي الأربعة معًا وأصبحوا فرقة موسيقى الروك هيكوري ، والتي أطلقوا عليها لاحقًا اسم Flaming Youth . سجلوا ألبومًا واحدًا ، Ark 2 (1969) ، وهو ألبوم مفاهيمي متأثر باهتمام وسائل الإعلام بهبوط القمر عام 1969 ويضم كل عضو يشارك غناءًا رئيسيًا.

[28]بعد سنوات ، التقى كولينز بهاريسون بشأن الإغفال. زعم هاريسون أنه لا يتذكر السبب ، لكنه أرسل لكولينز نسخة من الشريط الرئيسي للأغنية. عندما استلمها كولينز ، أصيب بالخزي لسماع أن مساهمته بدت فقيرة بشكل غير مقبول لدرجة أن هاريسون سمع في التسجيل يأمر بإزالته بالاسم. اتصل كولينز بهاريسون للاعتذار عن أدائه السيئ للغاية ، فقط ليعترف هاريسون بشكل هزلي أنه كان تسجيلًا جديدًا كمزحة لكولينز. بعد ومضة من الغضب ، سرعان ما قبل كولينز النكتة بروح الدعابة.

[103] [104] ردا على انتقادات للأغنية ، قال كولينز: "عندما أقود السيارة في الشارع ، أرى نفس الأشياء التي يراها الجميع. ومن المفاهيم الخاطئة أنه إذا كان لديك الكثير من المال ، فستفقد بطريقة ما لمس الواقع ".

Collins performing with Genesis at the Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 18 September 2007

Collins reunited with Banks and Rutherford and announced Turn It On Again: The Tour on 7 November 2006, nearly 40 years after the band first formed. The tour took place during summer 2007, and played in twelve countries across Europe, followed by a second leg in North America. During the tour Genesis performed at the Live Earth concert at Wembley Stadium, London.[129] In 2007 they were honoured at the second annual VH1 Rock Honors, performing "Turn It On Again", "No Son of Mine" and "Los Endos" at the ceremony in Las Vegas.[130] On 22 May 2008 Collins received his sixth Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors when he was presented the International Achievement Award at a ceremony held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.[131]

In October 2009, it was reported that Collins was to record a Motown covers album. He told a German newspaper, "I want the songs to sound exactly like the originals", and that the album would feature up to 30 songs.[132] In January 2010, Chester Thompson said that the album had been completed and would be released some time soon. He also revealed that Collins managed to play the drums on the album despite a spinal operation.[133] The resulting album, Going Back, was released on 13 September 2010. It reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.[134] In summer 2010, Collins played six concerts with the music from Going Back. These included a special programme, Phil Collins: One Night Only, aired on ITV1 on 18 September 2010. Collins also promoted Going Back with his first and only appearance on the BBC's music series Later... with Jools Holland, broadcast on 17 September 2010.[135]

In March 2010, Collins was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis at a ceremony in New York City.[136] As of January 2011, Collins has spent 1,730 weeks in the German music charts—766 weeks of them with Genesis albums and singles and 964 weeks with solo releases.[137] On 4 March 2011, citing health problems and other concerns, Collins announced that he was taking time off from his career, prompting widespread reports of his retirement.[138] On 7 March his UK representative told the press, "He is not, has no intention of, retiring."[139] However, later that day, Collins posted a message to his fans on his own website, confirming his intention to retire to focus on his family life.[12][140] In July 2012, Collins's greatest hits collection ...Hits re-entered the US charts, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard 200.[141]

In November 2013, Collins told German media that he was considering a return to music and speculated that this could mean further live shows with Genesis, stating: "Everything is possible. We could tour in Australia and South America. We haven't been there yet."[142] Speaking to reporters in Miami, Florida in December 2013 at an event promoting his charity work, Collins indicated that he was writing music once again and might tour again.[143]

On 24 January 2014, Collins announced in an interview with Inside South Florida that he was writing new compositions with fellow English singer Adele.[144] Collins said he had no idea who Adele was when he learned she wanted to collaborate with him.[145] He said "I wasn't actually too aware [of her]. I live in a cave."[144][146] Collins agreed to join her in the studio after hearing her voice.[145] He said, "[She] achieved an incredible amount. I really love her voice. I love some of this stuff she's done, too."[147] However, in September 2014, Collins revealed that the collaboration had ended and he said it had been "a bit of a non-starter".[148] In May 2014, Collins gave a live performance of "In the Air Tonight" and "Land of Confusion" with young student musicians at the Miami Country Day School in Miami, Florida.[149] Collins was asked to perform there by his sons, who are students at the school.[150] In August 2014, Collins was reported to have accepted an invitation to perform in December at a benefit concert in Miami in aid of his Little Dreams Foundation charity.

Collins on stage at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 7 June 2017

In May 2015, Collins signed a deal with Warner Music Group to have his solo albums remastered and reissued with previously unreleased material.[152] In October of that year, he announced that he was no longer retired and had started plans to tour and make a new album.[153][154] By mid-2016, all eight of his albums were reissued with the artwork updated to display Collins as his older self, the exception being Going Back, which had a new cover.[155] In 2019, the additional digital only releases Other Sides and Remixed Sides followed.[156]

In October 2016, Collins's autobiography Not Dead Yet was published.[157] At a press conference held at the Royal Albert Hall in the same month, Collins announced his Not Dead Yet Tour which initially took form as a short European trek from June 2017.[158] The tour included five nights at the Royal Albert Hall which sold out in fifteen seconds, prompting the announcement of Collins's headline spot at the 2017 BST Hyde Park festival which became his largest solo concert.[159] His band included his son Nicholas on the drums. A review in The Telegraph stated: "Unlike the body, the voice is largely unravaged by time. It’s still soulful, sometimes silky, occasionally bruised."[160] In 2017, the tour was extended worldwide and ran until October 2019 for a total of 97 shows.[161][162][163]

In March 2020, Collins, Banks, and Rutherford announced they had reformed Genesis and were to undertake The Last Domino? Tour in November 2020 (which was subsequently rescheduled twice, initially to April 2021 and later to September 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). It will feature his son Nic on the drums.[164]

In October 2020, Collins issued a cease and desist order to Donald Trump and his campaign for playing "In the Air Tonight" at a rally.[165][166]

Drumming and influence

In his book on the "legends" who defined progressive rock drumming, American drummer Rich Lackowski wrote: "Phil Collins's grooves in early Genesis recordings paved the way for many talented drummers to come. His ability to make the drums bark with musicality and to communicate so convincingly in odd time signatures left many a drummer tossing on the headphones and playing along to Phil's lead."[167] In 2014, readers of Rhythm voted Collins the fourth most influential progressive rock drummer for his work on the 1974 Genesis album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.[168] In 2015, MusicRadar named Collins one of the six pioneers of progressive rock drumming.[169] In 2005, Planet Rock listeners voted Collins the fifth greatest rock drummer in history.[170] Collins was ranked tenth in "The Greatest Drummers of All Time" list by Gigwise and number nine in a list of "The 20 greatest drummers of the last 25 years" by MusicRadar in 2010.[171][172] In 1987, Collins looked back at his fast playing in Brand X and early Genesis: "I actually can't play like that anymore".[173]

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins cites Collins as one of his drumming heroes.[174] He said, "Collins is an incredible drummer. Anyone who wants to be good on the drums should check him out – the man is a master."[175] In the April 2001 issue of Modern Drummer, Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy named Collins in an interview when asked about drummers he was influenced by and had respect for.[176] In another conversation in 2014, Portnoy lauded his "amazing progressive drumming" back in the early and mid-1970s.[177] Rush drummer Neil Peart praised his "beautiful drumming" and "lovely sound" on the 1973 Genesis album Selling England by the Pound, which he called "an enduring masterpiece of drumming".[169] Marco Minnemann, drummer for artists including Joe Satriani and Steven Wilson, described Collins as "brilliant" for the way "he composes his parts, and the sounds he gets". He said, "Phil is almost like John Bonham to me. I hear his personality, his perspective." He singled out the drumming on "In the Air Tonight" as an example of "ten notes that everybody knows" and concluded "Phil is a insanely talented drummer."[178]

Other drummers who have cited him as an influence or expressed admiration for his drumming work are Brann Dailor of Mastodon,[179] Nick D'Virgilio of Spock's Beard and Big Big Train,[180] Jimmy Keegan of Spock's Beard,[181] Matt Mingus of Dance Gavin Dance,[182] John Merryman of Cephalic Carnage,[183] and Craig Blundell of Steven Wilson and Frost*.[184] According to Jason Bonham, his father "respected Phil Collins’ drumming very much" and one of his favourite songs was Genesis' "Turn It On Again", which he used to love playing with him.[185]

Modern Drummer readers voted for Collins every year between 1987 and 1991 as Pop/Mainstream Rock drummer of the year. In 2000, he was voted as Big Band drummer of the year. In 2012, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.[18]

Equipment

Collins has used Gretsch drums since 1983.[186]

Collins is a left-handed drummer, and uses Gretsch drums, Noble & Cooley solid snare drums, Remo heads, Sabian cymbals and he uses his signature Promark sticks. Past kits he used were made by Pearl and Premier.[186]

Other instruments associated with Collins's sound (particularly in his post-1978 Genesis and solo career) include the Roland TR-808, Roland TR-909, the Simmons SDS-V electronic drum set, and the LinnDrum drum machines.[187] Collins also used a Roland CR-78, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 synthesizer, Fender Rhodes electric piano, and a vocoder for his voice.[188] Other Korg instruments include the Wavestation, the Karma and the Trinity.[189]

Cameo film and television appearances

Collins had cameo appearances in Steven Spielberg's Hook (1991) and the AIDS docudrama And the Band Played On (1993). He starred in Frauds, which competed for the Palme d'Or at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.[190] He supplied voices to two animated features: Amblin's Balto (1995) and Disney's The Jungle Book 2 (2003). A long-discussed but never completed project was a film titled The Three Bears; originally meant to star Collins, Danny DeVito, and Bob Hoskins. He often mentioned the film, though an appropriate script never materialised.[191]

Collins's music is featured in the satirical black comedy film American Psycho, with psychotic lead character Patrick Bateman (played by Christian Bale) portrayed as an obsessive fan who reads deep meaning into his work, especially with Genesis, while describing his solo music as "...more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way." Bateman delivers a monologue praising Collins and Genesis during a sequence in which he engages the services of two prostitutes while playing "In Too Deep" and "Sussudio". Collins told The New Musical Express: “I don’t think him being a psychopath and liking my music is linked – my music was just omnipresent in that era."[192] Collins twice hosted the Billboard Music Awards on television, which were produced and directed by his longtime music video and TV special collaborators, Paul Flattery and Jim Yukich of FYI (Flattery Yukich Inc). He also appeared in an episode of the series Miami Vice, entitled "Phil the Shill", in which he plays a cheating con-man. In the 1980s he appeared in several comedy sketches with The Two Ronnies on BBC One.[193]

Collins singing "Land of Confusion" at Knebworth, England in 1992. The song's music video features caricature puppets by the British television show Spitting Image. After Collins saw a caricatured version of himself on the show, he commissioned the show's creators, Peter Fluck and Roger Law, to create puppets of Genesis, as well as all the characters in the video.[194]

In 2001, Collins was one of several celebrities who were tricked into appearing in a controversial British comedy series, Brass Eye, shown on public service broadcaster Channel 4. In the episode, Collins endorsed a hoax anti-paedophile campaign wearing a T-shirt with the words "Nonce Sense" and warned children against speaking to suspicious people. Collins was reported by the BBC to have consulted lawyers regarding the programme, which was originally pulled from broadcast but eventually rescheduled. Collins said he had taken part in the programme "in good faith for the public benefit", believing it to be "a public service programme that would be going around schools and colleges in a bid to stem child abduction and abuse". Collins also accused the makers of the programme of "some serious taste problems" and warned it would prevent celebrities from supporting "public spirited causes" in the future.[195]

In 2006, Collins played a fictional version of himself in the PSP and PS2 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Set in 1984, he appears in three missions in which the main character, Victor, must save him from Mafia-hired hitmen, who are trying to kill Collins because his manager refused to pay his $3 million debt to them. The final mission occurs during his concert, where the player must defend the scaffolding against saboteurs while Collins is performing "In the Air Tonight". After this, the player is given the opportunity to watch this performance of "In the Air Tonight" for the cost of 6,000 in-game dollars. "In the Air Tonight" is part of the official Vice City Stories soundtrack, and can be also heard on the in-game radio. The song has also been featured in films such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters (2007) and The Hangover (2009).[196]

"In the Air Tonight" featured in the 2007 Gorilla commercial for Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate. Many believed that Collins himself was the drummer. When asked about Gorilla, Collins jokingly commented that "Not only is he a better drummer than me, he also has more hair. Can he sing too?"[197] The advertisement also helped the song re-enter the New Zealand RIANZ Singles Chart at No. 3 in July 2008, the following week reaching No. 1, beating its original 1981 No. 6 peak. "In the Air Tonight" was also sampled in the song "I Can Feel It" on Sean Kingston's self-titled debut album.[198]

Collins was portrayed in the cartoon South Park in the episode "Timmy 2000" holding his Oscar throughout, referring to his 1999 win for "You'll Be in My Heart", which defeated "Blame Canada" from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. The show's creators admitted resenting losing to Collins, as they felt their other competitors were more worthy.[199] The episode "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000" involves a sled race down the landmark known as Phil Collins Hill, which has an impression of Collins' face in the side. The Phil Collins character returns once more and gets killed off in the episode 200. Collins appears briefly in the Finnish animated sitcom Pasila in the episode "Phil Collins Hangover". The music of this episode is a pastiche of Collins's “Another Day in Paradise”.[200] Collins was mentioned in the Psych episode "Disco Didn't Die. It Was Murdered!" as resembling Shawn Spencer's father, Henry, portrayed by actor Corbin Bernsen.[201]

Critical and public perceptions

Criticism

According to a 2000 BBC biography of Collins, "critics sneer at him" and "bad publicity also caused problems", which "damaged his public profile".[202] Rock historian Martin C. Strong wrote that Collins "truly polarised opinion from the start, his ubiquitous smugness and increasingly sterile pop making him a favourite target for critics".[203] According to Guardian writer Paul Lester, Collins would "regularly" call music journalists to take issue with negative reviews.[204] Over time, he came to be personally disliked;[87] in 2009, journalist Mark Lawson told how Collins's media profile had shifted from "pop's Mr. Nice guy, patron saint of ordinary blokes", to someone accused of "blandness, tax exile and ending a marriage by sending a fax".[205] Collins has rejected accusations of tax avoidance, and despite confirming that some of the divorce-related correspondence between him and second wife, Jill Tavelman, was by fax (a message from Collins regarding access to their daughter was reproduced for the front cover of The Sun in 1993),[206] he states that he did not terminate the marriage in that fashion.[205] Nevertheless, the British media has often repeated the fax claim.[202][207][208][209] Collins has been the victim of scathing remarks in regard to his alleged right-wing political leanings. Caroline Sullivan, a music critic of The Guardian, referred to his cumulative negative publicity in her 2007 article "I wish I'd never heard of Phil Collins", writing that it was difficult for her to hear his work "without being riven by distaste for the man himself".[207]

Several critics have commented on Collins's omnipresence, especially in the 1980s and early 1990s.[87][203][210][211][212] Journalist Frank DiGiacomo wrote a 1999 piece for New York Observer titled The Collins Menace; he said, "Even when I sought to escape the sounds [of Collins] in my head by turning on the TV, there would be Mr. Collins ... mugging for the cameras—intent on showing the world just how hard he would work to sell millions of records to millions of stupid people."[210] In his 2010 article Love don't come easy: artists we love to hate, The Irish Times critic Kevin Courtney expressed similar sentiments. Naming Collins as one of the ten most disliked pop stars in the world, he wrote: "[Collins] performed at Live Aid, playing first at Wembley, then flying over to Philadelphia via Concorde, just to make sure no one in the U.S. got off lightly. By the early 1990s, Phil phatigue [sic] had really set in."[87] Tim Chester of the New Musical Express alluded to the backlash against Collins in an article titled, "Is It Time We All Stopped Hating Phil Collins?" Chester said of the unrelenting derision he has suffered, "a lot of it he brings on himself." He also said that Collins was "responsible for some of the cheesiest music ever committed to acetate".[213] Erik Hedegaard of Rolling Stone mentioned that Phil Collins hate sites had "flourished" online, and acknowledged that he had been called "the sellout who took Peter Gabriel's Genesis, that paragon of prog-rock, and turned it into a lame-o pop act and went on to make all those supercheesy hits that really did define the 1980s".[214]

According to author Dylan Jones in his 2013 publication on 1980s popular music, many of Collins's peers "despised" him.[215] Some fellow artists have made negative comments about Collins publicly. In 1990, former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters criticised Collins's "ubiquitous nature", including his involvement in the Who's 1989 reunion tour.[216] David Bowie dismissed some of his own 1980s output as his "Phil Collins years/albums".[217][218] In addition to the song's negative press from music journalists, singer-songwriter and political activist Billy Bragg criticised Collins for writing "Another Day in Paradise", stating: "Phil Collins might write a song about the homeless, but if he doesn't have the action to go with it he's just exploiting that for a subject."[219] Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher criticised Collins on multiple occasions,[220][221] including the comment: "Just because you sell lots of records, it doesn't mean to say you're any good. Look at Phil Collins."[222] Collins said he has "at times, been very down" about Noel Gallagher's comments.[11] Gallagher's brother, Oasis singer Liam, also recalled the "boring" Collins's chart dominance in the 1980s and stated that, by the 1990s, it was "time for some real lads to get up there and take charge".[223] Appearing on the BBC television series Room 101 in 2005, in which guests discuss their most hated things and people, Collins nominated the Gallaghers to be sent into the eponymous room. He described them as "horrible" and stated: "They're rude and not as talented as they think they are. I won't mince words here, but they've had a go at me personally."[224]

Collins acknowledged in 2010 that he had been "omnipresent". He said of his character: "The persona on stage came out of insecurity ... it seems embarrassing now. I recently started transferring all my VHS tapes onto DVD to create an archive, and everything I was watching, I thought, 'God, I'm annoying.' I appeared to be very cocky, and really I wasn't."[225] Collins concedes his status as a figure of contempt for many people and has said that he believes this is a consequence of his music being overplayed.[11][220] In 2011 he said: "The fact that people got so sick of me wasn't really my fault. … It's hardly surprising that people grew to hate me. I'm sorry that it was all so successful. I honestly didn't mean it to happen like that!"[11][226] He described criticism of his physical appearance over the years as "a cheap shot",[215] but has acknowledged the "very vocal element" of Genesis fans who believe that the group sold out under his tenure as lead singer.[227] Collins denied that his retirement in 2011 was due to negative attention[12] and said that his statements had been taken out of context. He said: "I have ended up sounding like a tormented weirdo who thinks he was at the Alamo in another life, who feels very sorry for himself, and is retiring hurt because of the bad press over the years. None of this is true."[140][213]

Praise

Collins performing to 65,000 at Hyde Park, London on 30 June 2017. Music critic Neil McCormick wrote, “He could barely walk but Phil Collins still knocked it out of Hyde Park“.[228]

Paul Lester of The Guardian wrote in 2013 that Collins is one of several pop acts that "used to be a joke" but are "now being hailed as gods".[204] Collins has become an important figure in US urban music,[229] influencing artists such as Kanye West,[230] Alicia Keys and Beyoncé.[231] His songs have been sampled by various hip-hop and contemporary R&B acts, and performers including Lil' Kim, Kelis and Wu-Tang Clan co-founder Ol' Dirty Bastard covered his work on the 2001 tribute album Urban Renewal.[229] In 2004, DCFC and Postal Service musician Ben Gibbard described Collins as a "great vocalist".[232] Collins has been championed by his contemporary, the heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne,[233] David Crosby called him "a dear friend" who has helped him "enormously",[234] Queen guitarist Brian May called him "a great guy and an amazing drummer",[235] and Robert Plant paid tribute to him as "the most spirited and positive and really encouraging force" when commencing his own solo career after the break-up of Led Zeppelin.[73] Collins has been championed by modern artists in diverse genres, including indie rock groups the 1975,[204] Generationals,[236] Neon Indian, Yeasayer, St. Lucia[237] and Sleigh Bells,[238] electronica artist Lorde,[231] and soul singer Diane Birch, who said in 2014, "Collins walks a really fine line between being really cheesy and being really sophisticated. He can seem appalling, but at the same time, he has awesome production values and there's a particular richness to the sound. It's very proficient in the instrumentation and savvy about melodies."[231]

Genesis bandmate Mike Rutherford has praised Collins's personality, saying that "he always had a bloke-next-door, happy-go-lucky demeanour about him: let's have a drink in the pub, crack a joke, smoke a cigarette or a joint".[239] In 2014, Ex-Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel, whom they both cross-collaborated with on some of their solo albums in the 1980s, referred to Collins as the "workaholics' workaholic".[240] He has been characterised by favourable critics as a "rock god",[239][241] and an artist who has remained "down to earth".[202] In The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, published in 2004, J. D. Considine wrote: "For a time, Phil Collins was nearly inescapable on the radio, and enormously popular with the listening public — something that made him an obvious target for critics. Despite his lumpen-pop appeal, however, Collins is an incisive songwriter and resourceful musician."[211] Tim Chester of the New Musical Express described Collins as "the go-to guy for ironic appreciation and guilty pleasures" and stated he was responsible for "some moments of true genius (often accompanied, it must be said, by some real stinkers)".[213] Creation Records founder Alan McGee wrote in 2009 that there was a "non-ironic revival of Phil Collins" happening. According to McGee: "The kids don't care about 'indie cred' anymore. To them, a great pop song is just that: a great pop song. In this time of revivals, nothing is a sacred cow anymore, and that can only be a good thing for music." Commenting on Collins's popularity with hip-hop acts, he argued: "It's not surprising. Collins is a world-class drummer whose songs immediately lend themselves to being sampled."[60]

In 2010, Gary Mills of The Quietus made an impassioned defence of Collins: "There can't be many figures in the world of pop who have inspired quite the same kind of hatred-bordering-on-civil-unrest as Collins, and there can't be too many who have shifted anything like the 150 million plus units that he's got through as a solo artist either ... The disgrace of a career bogged entirely in the determined dross of No Jacket Required however is simply not justified, regardless of how Collins gained either his fortune, or his public image."[242] David Sheppard wrote for the BBC in 2010: "Granted, Collins has sometimes been guilty of painting the bull's-eye on his own forehead (that self-aggrandising Live Aid Concorde business, the cringe-worthy lyrics to 'Another Day in Paradise', Buster, etc.), but nonetheless, the sometime Genesis frontman's canon is so substantial and his hits so profuse that it feels myopic to dismiss him merely as a haughty purveyor of tortured, romantic ballads for the middle income world."[243]

Rolling Stone journalist Erik Hedegaard expressed disapproval of the widespread criticism which Collins has received, suggesting that he has been "unfairly and inexplicably vilified".[214] Martin C. Strong stated in 2011 that "the enigmatic and amiable Phil Collins has had his fair share of mockers and critics over the years, although one thing is sure, and that is his dexterity and undeniable talent".[203] In a piece the following year, titled "10 Much-Mocked Artists It's Time We Forgave", New Musical Express critic Anna Conrad said Collins had been portrayed as a "villain", and wrote: "Was the bile really justified? ... come on, admit it. You've air drummed to 'In the Air Tonight', and loved it."[244] The Guardian journalist Dave Simpson wrote a complimentary article in 2013; while acknowledging "few pop figures have become as successful and yet reviled as Phil Collins", he argued "it's about time we recognised Collins's vast influence as one of the godfathers of popular culture".[229]

Personal life

Family and relationships

Collins has been married and divorced three times. From 1975 to 1980, he was married to Canadian-born Andrea Bertorelli.[206] They met as 11-year-old students in a London drama class and reconnected when Genesis performed in Vancouver. They married in England when both were 24.[206] Collins adopted Bertorelli's daughter Joely (b. 1972), who became an actress and film producer.[245] They also had a son, Simon Collins (b. 1976), who is the former vocalist and drummer of the progressive rock band Sound of Contact.

In 1984, Collins married his second wife, American Jill Tavelman. They have one daughter, Lily Collins (b. 1989), who became an actress.[246] The marriage encountered problems that culminated in Collins twice having an affair while touring with Genesis in 1992 with Lavinia Lang, a former drama school classmate. The two were previously engaged, but the relationship ended before they married.[246] In 1994, Collins openly stated that he had fallen out of love with Tavelman and had filed for divorce, which finalised in 1996. As part of the settlement, Collins paid £17 million to Tavelman.[246][247]

Collins married his third wife, Orianne Cevey, a Swiss national whom he met on tour and who worked as his translator,[248] in 1999.[249] They have two sons, Nicholas and Matthew.[250] They lived in the former house of Jackie Stewart in Begnins, Switzerland. In 2006 they divorced. Collins paid £25 million to Cevey, which became the largest settlement in a British celebrity divorce.[251] Collins continued to live in Féchy, Switzerland, while he also maintained homes in New York City and Dersingham, Norfolk.[209]

Collins published his autobiography, Not Dead Yet, in 2016, which chronicled his marriages. In 2016, Bertorelli, his first wife, took legal action against Collins pertaining to his account of their relationship in his autobiography.[252]

From 2007 to 2016, Collins was in a relationship with American news anchor Dana Tyler.[120] In 2008, Cevey and her two sons moved to Miami, Florida. Collins recalled: "I went through a few bits of darkness; drinking too much. I killed my hours watching TV and drinking, and it almost killed me." He said in 2015 that he had been teetotal for three years.[253] In January 2016, after moving to Miami Beach, Florida in the previous year to be closer to his two youngest sons,[253] Collins reunited with Cevey and they lived together in Miami.[254] In October 2020, Collins filed an eviction notice against Cevey after she secretly married another man in August.[255] Collins sold his Miami home in 2021, for $39 million.[256]

Collins' brother Clive is a cartoonist. Phil appeared at his brother's investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 2012 when he was awarded an MBE for services to art, with Phil stating, "I shared a bedroom with him when we were boys and he was always drawing. He used to do Christmas cards and birthday cards for the family."[257]

Wealth

In 2012, Collins was estimated to be the second wealthiest drummer in the world, surpassed only by Ringo Starr.[258] Collins was estimated to have a fortune of £120 million in the Sunday Times Rich List of 2018, making him one of the 25 wealthiest people in the British music industry.[259]

Court case

On 29 March 2000, Collins launched a case against two former musicians from his band to recoup £500,000 in royalties that were overpaid. Louis Satterfield, 62, and Rahmlee Davis, 51, claimed their contract entitled them to 0.5 per cent of the royalties from Serious Hits... Live!, a live album recorded during Collins's Seriously, Live! World Tour in 1990. Their claim was they were an integral part of the whole album, but Collins responded the two should only receive royalties from the five tracks in which they were involved.[260] On 19 April 2000, the High Court in London ruled that the two musicians would receive no more royalty money from Phil Collins. The amount that Collins was seeking was halved, and Satterfield and Davis (who originally brought the suit forward in California) would not have to repay any of it. The judge agreed with Collins' argument that Satterfield and Davis should have been paid for only the five tracks on which they performed, including the hit "Sussudio".[261]

Health

In 2000, Collins developed sudden hearing loss in his left ear following a recording session in Los Angeles. He consulted three doctors, who told him that there was nothing they could do and that the chance of a full recovery was slim. Two years later, he had recovered most of his hearing.[262] Collins later found that it was caused by a viral infection, and that it resolved after treatment.[120]

In April 2009, Collins had surgery to repair dislocated vertebrae in his upper neck, which arose while drumming on the 2007 Genesis tour. Following the operation, he lost feeling in his fingers and could only grip drum sticks if they were taped to his hands.[263] In 2010, Collins alluded to feelings of depression and low self-worth in recent years and said he had contemplated suicide, but he resisted for the sake of his children.[264] In 2014, Collins said that he was still unable to play the drums and that it was not arthritis, but an undiagnosed nerve problem.[265] In 2015, he underwent a spine operation.[266] In 2016, he said he was still unable to drum with his left hand. His doctor advised him that if he wanted to play the drums again, he would need to practise as long as he took it step by step.[120][267][268]

In his 2016 autobiography, Collins acknowledged that he had struggled with an alcohol problem following his retirement and third divorce. He also stated that he had been sober for three years.[269]

In January 2017, Collins said he was a type 2 diabetic and had received treatment with a hyperbaric chamber after he developed a diabetic abscess on his foot that became infected.[270] In June 2017, Collins cancelled two shows after he slipped in his hotel room during the night and hit his head on a chair as he fell, resulting in stitches for a severe gash close to his eye. The fall was caused by his drop foot, developed as a result from his back operation.[271]

In 2017, Collins began to use a cane to assist with walking,[272] and performs on stage while sitting in a chair.[273]

Honorary degrees

Collins has received several honorary degrees in recognition of his work in music and his personal interests. In 1987, he received an honorary doctorate of fine arts at Fairleigh Dickinson University.[274] In 1991, he received an honorary doctorate of music at the Berklee College of Music.[275] On 12 May 2012, he received an honorary doctorate of history at the McMurry University in Abilene, Texas,[276] for his research and collection of Texas Revolution artefacts and documents (see other interests section).

Politics

Collins has often been mentioned erroneously in the British media as being a supporter of the Conservative Party and an opponent of the Labour Party.[207][277] This derives from the famous article in The Sun, printed on the day of the 1992 UK general election, titled "If Kinnock wins today will the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights", which stated that Collins was among several celebrities who were planning to leave Britain in the event of a Labour victory.[278][279]

Collins is sometimes reported in the British press to have left the UK and moved to Switzerland in protest at the Labour Party's victory in the 1997 general election.[280][281] Shortly before the 2005 election (when Collins was living in Switzerland), Labour supporter Noel Gallagher was quoted: "Vote Labour. If you don't and the Tories get in, Phil Collins is threatening to come back and live here. And let's face it, none of us want that."[221][282] However, Collins has since stated that although he did once claim many years earlier that he might leave Britain if most of his income was taken in tax, which was Labour Party policy at that time for top earners, he has never been a Conservative Party supporter and he left Britain for Switzerland in 1994 purely because he started a relationship with a woman who lived there. He said of Gallagher: "I don't care if he likes my music or not. I do care if he starts telling people I'm a wanker because of my politics. It's an opinion based on an old, misunderstood quote."[283]

Despite his statement that he did not leave Britain for tax purposes, Collins was one of several wealthy figures living in tax havens who were singled out for criticism in a 2008 report by the charity Christian Aid.[284] The Independent included Collins as one of their "ten celebrity tax exiles", erroneously repeating that he had left the country when Labour won the 1997 general election and that he threatened to return if the Conservatives won in 2005.[285] Referring to the 1997 general election in his article "Famous men and their misunderstood politics" for MSN, Hugh Wilson stated: "Labour won it in a landslide, which just goes to show the influence pop stars really wield". He also wrote that Collins's reported comments and subsequent move to Switzerland led to "accusations of hypocrisy" since he had "bemoaned the plight of the homeless in the song 'Another Day in Paradise'", making him "an easy target when future elections came round".[104] The Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott song "When I Get Back to Blighty", from their 2014 album What Have We Become?, made reference to Collins as "a prisoner to his tax returns".[286]

Questioned about his politics by Mark Lawson in an interview for the BBC, broadcast in 2009, Collins said: "My father was Conservative but it wasn't quite the same, I don't think, when he was alive. Politics never loomed large in our family anyway. I think the politics of the country were very different then."[205] In a 2016 interview in The Guardian, Collins stated that talking about politics to The Sun was one of his biggest regrets. When asked whether he had ever voted Conservative, he said: "I didn’t vote, actually. And that’s not something I’m proud of. I was just so busy that I rarely was here."[287]

Collins is a member of the Canadian charity Artists Against Racism and has worked with them on campaigns including radio PSAs.[288]

Other interests

Collins has a long-standing interest in the Alamo. He has collected hundreds of artefacts related to the famous 1836 battle in San Antonio, Texas, narrated a light and sound show about the Alamo, and has spoken at related events.[289] His passion for the Battle of the Alamo has also led him to write the book The Alamo and Beyond: A Collector's Journey, published in 2012.[290] A short film was released in 2013 called Phil Collins and the Wild Frontier which captures Collins on a book tour in June 2012.[291] On 26 June 2014, a press conference was held from the Alamo, where Collins spoke, announcing that he was donating his entire collection to the Alamo via the State of Texas.[292] On 11 March 2015, in honour of his donation, Collins was named an honorary Texan by the state legislature.[293] Like Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, and Neil Young, Collins is a model railway enthusiast.[294] He also has an interest in King & Country toy soldiers.[295]

Activism

Collins has performed at the Secret Policeman's Ball, a benefit show co-founded by Monty Python member John Cleese on behalf of Amnesty International. He made his first appearance at the 1981 show held in London’s Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and he subsequently became an activist.[296] Collins was appointed a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) in the 1994 Birthday Honours, in recognition of his work on behalf of The Prince's Trust, a leading UK youth charity founded by Charles, Prince of Wales which provides training, personal development, business start up support, mentoring, and advice.[297] Collins has performed at the charity's rock concert numerous times since the 1980s, most recently at the Royal Albert Hall in 2010.[298]

Collins has stated he is a supporter of animal rights and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). In 2005 he donated autographed drum sticks in support of PETA's campaign against Kentucky Fried Chicken.[299]

In February 2000, Collins and his wife Orianne founded Little Dreams Foundation, a non-profit organisation that aims to "...realise the dreams of children in the fields of sports and art" by providing future prodigies aged 4 to 16 years with financial, material, and mentoring support with the help of experts in various fields.[300] Collins took the action after receiving letters from children asking him how they could break into the music industry. Mentors to the students who have benefited from his foundation include Tina Turner and Natalie Cole. In 2013 he visited Miami Beach, Florida, to promote the expansion of his foundation.[301]

Collins supports the South African charity Topsy Foundation, which provides relief services to some of South Africa's most under-resourced rural communities through a multi-faceted approach to the consequences of HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. He donates all the royalties earned from his music sales in South Africa to the organisation.[302][303]

    Brann Dailor: [...] for prog, definitely Phil Collins [... ] Phil Collins is probably my favorite drummer. I never heard beats like his before, and he moved really nicely around the kit, like water. He did these little hi-hat things that were very tasty. I don’t think he gets enough credit as a drummer, and he seems to be blamed for ruining Genesis.

    Nick D'Virgilio: He is still my favourite drummer of all time. He was the best. I can still put on Selling England or even some of the Brand X records he made and still me in awe. The thing about his playing was not necessarily the chops but the feel. He had and still does have such a great feel. He made progressive rock music groovy. Nobody else did that and that is what drew me to his playing so much. Like John Bonham made rock so groovy, Phil made prog swing. I used to have arguments with other drummer friends when I was a kid who was the best and I always said Phil was.
