BRING HIM HOME.
GQ.com — This fall, Phil Collins ended both his retirement and his self-imposed exile in Switzerland, and we speak for both ourselves and your dad when we say: Damn right, he did! (Also, wait, he retired to Switzerland? Whoa, he’s been a Bond villain and we didn’t even notice.) Anyway, Phil Collins is the man. That may be a funny thing to say, but it is not a joke, as the following hundred reasons prove.
- Phil Collins’s comeback tour will launch next year, which is important, because the Phil Collins comeback was never supposed to happen.
- First, he’s had to come back from a lot, and he’s done it mostly out of the public eye. Since his last solo trek, 2003’s First Final Farewell Tour, he’s only materialized for a brief Genesis reunion in 2007 and a Motown covers album called Going Back in 2010. When he needed to vanish, he vanished.
- Second, the comeback tour had to be delayed while Collins recovered from emergency back surgery. He’s been battling nerve, back, and spine problems for years; his work on the Genesis reunion tour caused a dislocated vertebra in his neck and nerve damage in his hands, damage so severe he couldn’t actually hold his drumsticks. A lot of people would have quit.
- To recap: He’s a drummer.
- And doctors told him he’d never play drums again.
