Evster2012 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi MJ! I felt the same way when David Gilmour said same (at least regarding the Floyd). It's a bummer when a musician who's given us so much joy walks off into the sunset. But hey, they earned it, right? I mean, when any professional who's spent 40+ years in the workforce hits retirement age, they should have the right to lay back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Hopefully Collins will get restless and give us some more. If not, I hope he enjoys himself. He's earned it! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only issue people had with PC and Zep was the obvious one around the Live Aid show. He and Robert seemed good mates at one time. Haven't heard anything from any quarter stating this so wil have to wait n see. Saw PC with Gabriel era Genesis, post PG era and solo but its been a while. PC has taken a personal battering at times mainy in his private life but he's has usually been highly regarded as a drummer, singer and writer.

SgtPepper67 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 That made very sad. He's one of my favurite drummers and Genesis has become one of my favourite bands in the last couple of years, both PG and PC eras, I even started to like his solo stuff, wich I used to hate, especially his first album wich is great. It's such a shame he's retiring, I was hoping a 5 man Genesis reunion would happen soon, or at least the 3 man reunion would go for a world tour so maybe I would have a chance to see them live. Anyway, he deserves it but it's a shame for all the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Seems the only way out for celeberties is death and even that didn't work for Elvis. I'm sure he will throw out a bone or two, he just won't tour or spend days in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audacity Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I can't tell if he wrote these lyrics foreseeing his retirement or his inevitable return. I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord Ive been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord Either way, it's coming.

Tejanablonde Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Its alright Retired is not Dead .He will get bored and play again its in the Blood a true Musican cannot help but play.He will be back. I agree with you Al. Enjoy your solitude Phil. Here's to you. I am certain we will see you again. My husband's a drummer. He has never been able to put his sticks down for long. We have an entire room devoted to this "addiction". It really IS an obsession you know. Can't be cured either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Invited to Live Aid, Yes.............Invited to play with Zeppelin, NO................. Hmmm, that's news to me. So, a second set of drums was setup prior to Zep's performance with no knowledge whatsoever by anyone that Phil Collins would be playing with them?
