The man himself in The Sunday Times today - I've got my copy. It's a great picture, so iconic and he's still as handsome as ever. He has even done the writing just like on his original album cover, so cool.

THIS BRIDGE IS EVERYTHING! And that look he does, I'm melting 🔥😁
I thought what shall I draw on my new cheap toy to pass the time - then I looked across the sitting room. Excuse the moon
The Prince's Trust Rock Gala 1986 is on BBC2 Tonight from 8.45pm where Phil plays drums for other artists and sings. It's a great show if you haven't seen it.
One of my favourite moments on my wall.
What song/s by Genesis make you emotional or even make you cry and why?
I have many that make me emotional and give me shivers but the song that makes me cry and gives me shivers all over every time is "Open Door", it makes me think of my doggy that passed last year and I just can't hold it back. It's such a sensitive song and Phil's vocals are so tender.
There's so many lines in the song that hit for me, because I knew it was coming and she was euthanized at home and during her very last day she enjoyed laying in the sun peacefully, so this line hits hard:-
"There's nothing that I can say
Or I can do
Stand in the sun
Shut your eyes and feel the world" 🥹
This may be the best Genesis documentary.
Being British I already have the English vinyl version (Four Sides Live) but I had to get this, i Iove those songs on side four.

This is a fun one. Phil and everyone on stage having a great time plus what a treat for the audience which are so close - lucky sods! They do Phil and Genesis songs plus interspersed with little interviews with Phil.
A new Phil Collins interview (FULL INTERVIEW) with SIRIUSXM’s Eddie Trunk… Possibly recorded on the 5th May '26.
It's always so great to hear Phil even if it's mostly going over old ground.
The wonderful world of AI. So is Tony Ozzy?
