Phil Collins Teases Potential Comeback: New Music After Two Decades?

The music world is buzzing with the possibility that Phil Collins, the legendary singer and drummer of Genesis, might be working on new material after more than two decades. At 73, Collins has spent recent years revisiting his past, retiring and unretiring, and culminating his illustrious journey with what many believed to be his final Genesis performance two years ago. His focus recently has been on celebrating his legacy, with the upcoming 30th-anniversary box-set edition of Both Sides set to drop next month.

However, in an unexpected turn, Collins seems poised to step back into the studio. The last time we heard new solo music from him was in 2003 when he composed the soundtrack for Disney’s Brother Bear. Now, it seems that the wait for fresh tracks might be over soon.

This tantalizing possibility was hinted at by Simon Napier-Bell, the renowned manager and producer, who is currently working on a documentary about London’s iconic Marquee Club. In a recent Facebook post, Napier-Bell shared that he had interviewed Collins for the documentary and found him in “top form, full of wicked stories, hugely fun.” More intriguingly, he mentioned that Collins had just revamped his studio, sparking hope that new music might be on the horizon.

While this isn’t an official confirmation, it’s enough to reignite excitement among fans worldwide. Could Phil Collins be preparing to gift us with another chapter in his storied career? Only time will tell, but for now, the mere possibility is enough to stir anticipation in the hearts of music lovers everywhere.
