Phil Collins isn't closing the door on the stage. Days before he is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, the 75-year-old says he sometimes thinks about hitting the road again.
In a video recorded for the Hall of Fame, Collins said he has a fully working studio in his basement, with ideas, finished songs and half-finished ones. Once you've tasted life on stage, it's hard to stop, he explained, adding, "I never say exactly never." He noted that a handful of shows wouldn't be financially practical, but said he still thinks every now and then that he hasn't finished.
No tour or album has been announced.
Collins will be inducted Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony will be taped and air in December on ABC and Disney+. He has said he won't perform at the ceremony, explaining that he would need rehearsal first.
His last concert was March 26, 2022, at London's O2 Arena, the final show of Genesis' farewell tour, where he sang while seated.
Collins called the induction a lovely way to close the chapter, and said time away from music has meant more time with his children. He said getting to share the moment with them will be very special.
Fans searching online about his well-being can take comfort in that: he is speaking publicly and preparing to accept his honor.
