Phil Collins did not perform at his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, but he did take the stage, and he promised fans his story isn't over.
Collins was inducted as a solo artist on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It was his second induction, after entering the Hall with Genesis in 2010. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker inducted him.
Collins walked onstage slowly using two canes and cried at a huge ovation from a crowd that included his daughter, actress Lily Collins. Cynthia Erivo performed "In the Air Tonight" in his place, with Barker on drums.
In his speech, Collins thanked his manager, Tony Smith, and the late Atlantic Records boss Ahmet Ertegun for supporting him early on. He then told the crowd, "You haven't heard the last of me."
He gave no details about new music, live shows or a timeline. His appearance also answers the death-rumor searches that spiked this week.
The ceremony was taped and will air Dec. 8 on ABC and Disney+.
At a moment of well-earned recognition, Collins chose gratitude, thanking the people who stood by him. For readers of faith, it's a reminder of the power of thankfulness and perseverance.
