Phil Collins (Performer)
Born: January 30, 1951 in London
Best Known For: Numerous hit records.
Early-life: Born Philip David Charles Collins in Chiswick, west London on January 30, 1951. He was given his first drum at the age of five, and his first full set at 12. Interested in performing from an early age, Phil was educated at stage school, and played the Artful Dodger in a West End production of Oliver! He also formed his own band, the Real Thing, and later joined another called the Freehold, with whom he made his first recordings. He also made two albums with Hickory before they split due to musical differences.
Career: Phil became a member of Genesis after answering an advert for a drummer in Melody Maker. They gained a solid fan base, and after Peter Gabriel quit as singer in 1975, Phil took over on vocals. More success followed with Genesis before he began a lucrative solo career in 1981 with his album Face Value. Subsequent LPs Hello I Must Be Going and No Jacket Required were also big hits. In 1985, he was the only performer to play on the same day at both Live Aid events at Wembley Stadium in the UK and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. In 1988, he returned to acting in the movie Buster. He left Genesis in 1996 to focus on his solo career, though the group reformed in 2007 for a hugely successful world tour. He won an Oscar for his work on 1999 Disney film Tarzan, and composed the soundtrack to the 2003 movie Brother Bear. He worked with Disney on a Broadway production of Tarzan in 2006, but the show received mixed reviews. On March 4, 2011, Phil announced that he was taking a break from the music industry to spend more time with his family. In January 2014, he revealed he was working on new material with Adele.
Quote: "An interview is an awfully artificial way of communicating, don't you think?"
Trivia: He is one of only three artists, alongside Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, to have sold more than 100 million albums both as solo artists and separately as a member of a band.
