PrinceGaga 7,585 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Prior to his official retirement, Collins' last album of original music was 2002's poorly received Testify. The album's tour was called The First Farewell Tour. (Good thing it had that qualifier.) Since then, he has released a record of Motown covers and worked on the Tarzansoundtrack.In 2011, the former Genesis frontman — who suffers from chronic health problems that affect his ability to perform — announced his official retirement. His music career has been mostly silent since then, apart from a collaboration with Adele that didn't end up going anywhere. Still, he has hinted at a possible return to music.The Brit kept busy by indulging his confounding obsession with the Battle of the Alamo, collecting memorabilia from the San Antonio battle site and writing book called The Alamo and Beyond: A Collector's Journey, which was published in 2012. He has since donated his collection to the state of Texas and is now an honorary citizen.Collins recently relocated from Switzerland to Jennifer Lopez's former home in Miami to be closer to his sons and also Barry Gibb, who lives down the street.For now, he's going to stay solo — although he has previously stated that he's open to a Genesis reunion. The band most recently reunited for a tour in 1997."Let's start with this [solo] bit first," he told Rolling Stone. "I love the guys. I would just prefer to do this first. For now, let's just see how this goes."Source___He is also trending WW on Twitter. YAY Phil Collins. He is a childhood singer of mine. I would love to see him in concert.

Warholian 6,880 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I wonder when Gaga will return from retirement? Kevin Parker, Mac Demarco, Mark Ronson, and a stoned Lady Gaga. Need I say more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
