Nov, 11 2010
In the new issue of Rolling Stone, former Genesis drummer Phil Collins says he believes that he may have lived past lives, and reveals he's contemplated suicide.
Collins is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who has sold over 100 million albums worldwide both as solo artist and separately as principal member of a band. He’s won seven Grammy Awards, an Oscar for his work on Disney’s Tarzan, and two Golden Globes for his solo work.
Now living in Switzerland and raising two young sons, Collins hasn't released an album of solo material in eight years and devotes his time to a gigantic collection of artifacts from the Alamo. "It's paranormal energy," he explains, noting that a psychic recently told him he fought at the fort in a previous lifetime.
A neck injury has left Collins unable to drum, but he maintains he doesn’t miss it. "I sometimes think I'm going to write this Phil Collins character out of the story," the singer laments. “A comedian who committed suicide in the Sixties left a note saying, 'Too many things went wrong too often.' I often think about that."
Yet Collins has reason to persevere: he just released a new disc of Motown covers, Going Back, and Genesis was inducted by Phish into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
Phil Collins

When the divorce settlement amount between Paul McCartney and Heather Mills was announced a nation inhaled in collective shock. Pity then Phil Collins, onto divorce number three and $84 million the poorer. The most recent settlement has cost him nearly $47 million, and the ex-Mrs Collins walked away with a wallet $2M fuller than the ex-Mrs McCartney. Although the Genesis front-man had announced his ‘First Final Farewell Tour’ in 2003 he has continued to perform for enthusiastic audiences across the world since, but with his pockets considerably lighter, it may be some time before this old man of rock can hang up the drumsticks.
