Phil Collins adds Birmingham date to headline tour

Widely regarded as one of Britain's finest musicians, Phil Collins returned to live show circuit earlier this month, with shows in London, Liverpool Paris, Cologne, Dublin and now Birmingham.

"I thought I would retire quietly," said Phil, "But thanks to the fans, my family and support from some extraordinary artists I have rediscovered my passion for music and performing. It's time to do it all again and I'm excited.

"It just feels right."

Born and raised in West London, Collins played drums from the age of five and completed drama school training, which secured him various roles as a child actor.

Collins joined Genesis in 1970 as their drummer and became their lead singer in 1975.

He has released eight studio albums that have sold 33.5 million copies across the US and an estimated 150 million worldwide.

He is one of only two artists that have sold over 100 million records worldwide, the other being Paul McCartney.

He has won seven Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards and a Disney Legend Award.

Phil Collins comes to the Genting Arena on December 3, with presale kicking off at 9.00am on July 6, and general sale beginning at 9.00am on July 7.
