Anyone else see the Jonathan Ross show last night?

Phil Collins really didn't look well Still a good live performance I thought but he looked very unsteady on his feet.

Such a shame

dpb

He sounded just as good as ever you

He looked rough . Don't quite know reason for back op?

Not sure he should be allowed to unleash himself yet more stuff - does he need pay tax man ?


Was the broken ankle alcohol related

Contrary to the opinions of some people i have always rated him as a very talented performer.

He's one of the rare talents like Don Henley, Levon Helm, perhaps Ringo Starr, who is not only a superb drummer but also a great vocalist. Hope he's ok.

Greenslade

He was struggling to hit notes, and looked uncomfortable. I hope it was just because he hasn't used his voice for a while. He used to be a fun guy, but it's like he's lost his haha and his mojo.

Incredible drummer in the 70s and 80s, before it all went a bit commercial and narrow. Floating round the kit, doing doubles all over the place.

He has a broken bone in his foot apparently and has undergone surgery on his back. Dont know the timeline in terms of whether it is recent and he in recovering, or if it is a chronic thing, but he seemed to be using the mic stand at times to support himself.

When not looking at the screen it sounded like Phil Collins of old, but wasn't good to watch. Will be buying his book, he is an artist I have always liked, as a talented drummer, writer and vocalist, he is a witty guy and has always came across as being without ego or arroagance dispte his huge and enduring success.

I missed JR show last night. I like the show. If it's on internet, could anyone pls. provide a link to it? Really busy with stuff here, so that will be a great help.

I did watch GN show on Fri night in Altrincham. Tom Cruise looked good with his feather cut hair, despite looking older with some puffiness under his eyes.

Just a clip of Phil singing-

Turbohot

Thanks, pflowers. He does look very withered and worn. What a brilliant singer!

dpb

He must be clocking on towards 70 now ?
He was never the "best" singer, even back in the day, but at least he did sing live, unlike most that perform on these shows who mime.

Greenslade

Either the first or second wife, went off with the decorator

Never ,ever liked Genesis or Phil Collins

Always been a bit rubbish and Phil saved by chocolate and a pretend gorilla

Films rubbish too

Sorry Phil fans !

Sacrilege!! Strike him down!

Genesis, pre-1980, we're prog rock Gods. An amazing album group.

Admittedly, they 'sold out' for a more broad appeal (read mainstream popularity) after then, with their more 'poppy' Invisible Touch and Genesis albums.

Duke (amazing) and Abacab being my favorite albums. And Then There Were Three and Three Sides Live too.

presumably a book/album on the way

How did you guess.

"Not Dead Yet" solo tour. And book of same name I think.

hodgy0_2

a lucky one

those school fees, shrink fees and swimming pool repairs don't get paid by magic beans

RS_Matt

I found his voice beautiful Circa 75-81, his tone had a saxophone quality.

Problem with Genesis was I was into rock (sounds like soft rock now.lol) Black Sabbath,Ac/Dc,Rainbow,blue oyster cult ,Motorhead etc etc.Genesis didn't seem to fit in anywhere .

Just didn't get them and Phil.lol

What about pink floyd.

David Lock

I was a close neighbour of his in Sussex when he left his wife, Gill, suddenly - allegedly sending her a fax goodbye. His little daughter Lil was at school with my kids where I was a governor. Other members of Genesis were close by.


Thought he looked awful in the clip above and doubt he will last a full tour. Best hang up his mike before he falls over methinks. David

[QUOTE=johned;11887270]Another no no from me.I think it was having east end kids sing on brick in the wall that forever tainted them for me.

I sound a right miserable sod.lol. I'm not!
