Phil Collins Finally Answers Questions Fans Have Asked For 50 Years

Описание: As filming for our "Drummer First" documentary was wrapping up, we had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Phil Collins and ask him the questions drummers and fans have been curious about for decades.

On October 21, 2022, Phil Collins joined Drumeo's Brandon Toews for an exclusive interview reflecting on his unparalleled 50-year career. In this candid conversation, Phil dives into the emotional aspects of retirement, shares his most valuable advice for musicians, and reflects on the moments that shaped his life as a drummer.

From his favorite recordings to the ones he wishes he could change, Phil shares personal insights and untold stories from his remarkable career. He discusses his drumming influences, his thoughts on inspiring other famous drummers, and passing the torch to his son Nic Collins who performed on the final Genesis and Phil Collins tours. Phil also opens up about the physical challenges that led to his decision to officially retire while cherishing the legacy he’s built over decades.

Whether you’re a drummer, a lifelong fan, or simply inspired by Phil's music, this interview is a heartfelt tribute to a monumental career in music.

On behalf of drummers everywhere – thank you for everything, Phil.
