Collins Leaves Door Open For Genesis

In a new interview with Prog as he relaunches his solo career and and issues his autobiography, Phil Collins says writing the book made him sentimental for his former bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks in Genesis.

“Doing the book, I was reminded just what good friends we are. What I will say is that I consider what we had was pretty special.

“That the three of us would come in with nothing – there wasn’t just one or two writers – we’d all three come in with nothing and we’d start playing until something happened. We’d record it and come back to it a few weeks later and from there songs would develop.

“That is pretty special, to have a relationship with guys that can do that. So I wouldn’t rule it out.”

However, any work with Genesis would have to be carefully considered, Collins saying, “I just don’t want to suddenly take the brake off, start flying off and doing things. I want to do things carefully and think about the consequences.”
