Phil Collins Biography
Phil Collins, born Philip David Charles Collins on January 30, 1951, in London, England, is a renowned English drummer, singer, and songwriter. His passion for music ignited early when he received a drum set at the age of five. As a teenager, Collins balanced acting and music, notably performing in a 1964 stage production of Oliver! and making a brief appearance in The Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night (1964).
In 1970, Collins joined the progressive rock band Genesis as their drummer. When lead singer Peter Gabriel departed in 1975, Collins stepped up as the band's frontman. Under his leadership, Genesis transitioned to a more mainstream sound, achieving significant success with albums like Duke (1980), Abacab (1981), and Invisible Touch (1986).
Collins launched his solo career in 1981 with the album Face Value, featuring the haunting hit "In the Air Tonight." His subsequent albums, including No Jacket Required (1985) and ...But Seriously (1989), produced chart-topping singles like "Sussudio" and "Another Day in Paradise." His distinctive blend of pop and rock resonated globally, leading to over 150 million records sold worldwide.
Beyond his music career, Collins ventured into acting, starring in the 1988 film Buster, which depicted the story of Great Train Robber Buster Edwards. The film's soundtrack featured Collins's renditions of "A Groovy Kind of Love" and "Two Hearts," both achieving significant chart success.
