Phil Collins on His Memoir "Not Dead Yet"

Phil Collins talks about writing his autobiography, "Not Dead Yet."

[@jenniferthomas9404]

He held the door for me in the 90s at the Ritz chicago I was Speechless. Total gentleman!

[@rk41gator]

He gets a lot of unjustified grief. His modest and soft-spoken manner makes him an easy target. Plus, he is fearless in approaching both music and his life. No regrets. His book is great. Oh, and his 'acting ability' is vastly underrated by both critics and himself. He is a wonderful actor....and, from what you say, a wonderful gentleman.

[@misultan]

His voice and his music never will die... never!!

[@michaelfrazia4569]

To me the most amazing thing about this man is he made his biggest hits during an era when MTV dominated music...he didnt have the,looks as bands like Duran Duran etc and all the others....says something about his talent that he managed to dominate in the 80s...i will always respect him

[@patriciadenis8767]

Phil is remarkable, fabulous drummer, singer, songwriter, actor., sensitive and generous. A very good boy ! From Paris, Thanks for your documentary.

[@teebzr5975]

Artist today lack talent like this man.. really a genius

[@moodyblue1964]

I met him when he was around 38. As friendly as can be. I was extremely star struck at the time, but he was so down to earth and very accommodating on signing a program or something. So long ago I can't quite remember.

Been a fan of Phil Collins for many years. Such a talented lovely guy!

Everyone loves Phil Collins.

Love this man's talent. Must get his book. Always loved his voice.

Living legend

[@Spartanm333]

It makes me sad though, having grown up with Genesis and seen Phil live many times ( and met him once in a professional capacity, lovely guy) - the fun and banter and energy are not there any more and the body language is all off cue. I know he has had health problems and he is not getting any younger but really these recent TV interviews - its like he really does not want to be there. Retire and concentrate on the writing and your family. You really don't need this anymore and we fans still have the music and the memories.

[@canesrock82]

I thought he had been making progress on his health, but the weight gain and the mobility issues are really sad for someone who really took care of himself. I agree his family and health should be #1.

[@karlmaldensnose5889]

Spartanm333 he craves attention and he's only doing this to make money, it's an addiction

[@Spartanm333]

Well, I think the first part may be right - he misses the fame and fandom that he enjoyed both in Genesis and as a solo artiste but he certainly doesn't need the money. He is a multi-millionaire several times over with a home base in the tax haven of Switzerland and still has a daily income from publishing and record sales if he doesn't get out of bed. So its not money. He said it himself, you can only have so many houses, powerboats and fancy cars before it all blurs into repetition - it's not fulfilling on a personal level. I think he wants to feel that he still has some relevance in music so thats what this is really about.

[@georgemaster9952]

My all time favorite singer.I think Face Value was the starter LP for me.

[@Boeing-747-8-D-ABYC]

He's a such amazing man!

[@georgemaster9979]

I love Phil! He may not be together physically but his voice is very much intact.

[@RelaxingPeacefulMusicChannel]

Through my eyes? As a fellow musician - Seeing Phil from Backstage right behind his kit rockin' In The Air Tonight on the But Seriously Tour LIVE In Cleveland at the old Richfield Coliseum was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had.

[@Alison-jg6zk]

You lucky person

[@MsThebeMoon]

Kelly can come out with the stupidest things to say. I'm here for Phil Collins. Love that man. His music was a big part of the background of my life, starting with early Genesis.

I just got his book . Waiting for the delivery 🚚 ! Love Phil ❤️🌺

[@michaelp8270]

Got the book at the Library and Phil is " working class is something to be" that John Lennon sang about. And he has the scars to prove it. God Bless you and yours Peelip.

i intend to read your book because i want to know more about your life by yourself. besides, i would like to travel to england to make a cultural immersion there. Thanks for your dedication to make us happy.

I just watched Calamity the Cow. My goodness, Phil has been around!!

Listen to his audiobook, read by him! The last 5 hours will make your bones split

[@Zizzyyzz]

Just the thought of listening to something for 5 hours is making my bones split.

[@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210]

How does listening to someone speaking "make your bones split"? Is that a statement from the U.K.?

[@Ian-gw2vx]

Hi phil Collins its Theresa here I am very lucky to hear from you my friend

Happy Birthday, Phil. I read the book then listened to the audio version. If you are a fan you should definitely read it or listen to it.

This is why I never watch talk shows.The dumbest questions are asked most of the time by these people( hosts), who should know better.Especially Kelly,having been an actress herself.

[@jokercovid7032]

Dear Phil, I hope everything it's true and we give us a chance to start from new........ My new name is Matthias Burckhardt but, you know what I mean 😉

it seems his health got worse. He's walking with a crane for 1 year now

It breaks my heart to see gorgeous Phil Collins looking so frail. I don't give a shit about his rubbish taste in women. Phil Collins kept Genesis alive for over 30 years after Peter Gabriel walked away. Love you Phil. Genesis survived thanks to Phil Collins. With all "due respect" to Tony and Mike ... how the fuck do you two sleep at night? You are so smug and yet so safe. Your band stayed alive without any input from either of you.

[@amandabooth-he9gu]

I bet you are really fun at parties...just so positive aren't we...

[@coolnamebro]

Yes, it's called "promotion". He's an incredibly successful musician who continues to work long after he could have retired extremely comfortably. Do you think he should do talk shows just because he likes to sit and chat with professional interviewers? What planet do you live on? 😂

[@billionkek]

Deadbeat Dad

[@amandabooth-he9gu]

Not fan huh? I don't care about him being parent and why do you care? You don't have to buy his book or read it but to put someone down you don't know and you haven't ever been a world famous musician is just unnecessary unless you walk a mile in his shoes. So don't judge unless you know. Also I have a question about why you and all of others that make snide remarks are here if you all hate him so much. Why don't you all that don't have something nice to say to take a flying leap and please quit your bitching for once in your life.
