It’s a wonder Phil Collins still tours. With damaged nerves and back problems, the legendary drummer of Genesis, and obviously the soul behind an incredible solo career, can no longer drum. Hence why his teenaged son is part of his backing band.
This past summer, Phil did a US leg of his critically acclaimed Not Dead Yet comeback tour, his first US tour in years. But due to overwhelming demand, another limited US run has been announced, and unlike last time, this one will roll into Tampa, over at Amalie Arena. September 26 will be Phil’s first show around here since 2004, which is surprising, considering the fact that he has a house in Miami, and holds galas there from time to time. Maybe he would have taken the drive up here.
Tickets go on sale to the public next Saturday at 10am, and will start at $50. He cancelled a Genesis show two songs in at Tampa Stadium once in 1992. But he hasn’t done it since. With that out of the way, do you care anymore? He’s a living legend, and he sits down the whole show. We’re lucky he still lives on this earth.
