Phil Collins

One of music’s most iconic and celebrated figures, legendary British singer, songwriter, drummer, and producer Phil Collins has made an indelible mark on pop culture during his five-decade-long career – both as a member of Genesis and as a chart topping solo artist. Long counted as one of the world’s all-time best-selling recording artists, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is also among its most decorated, with multiple GRAMMYS®, Ivor Novellos, BRITs, and an Academy Award to his name. But what is perhaps more impressive is his ability to reach so many fans – across borders and generations – with a string of hits that have become ingrained in the collective consciousness, including “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now),” “Sussudio,”“You’ll Be in My Heart,” and, perhaps most famously, “In the Air Tonight,” which is not only one of the late 20th century’s most enduring songs, but also features one of music’s most recognisable drum breakdowns.
