Phil Collins - exceptional musician and legend

Phil Collins is one of the most successful musicians of all time. He’s produced several timeless global hits. His first single “In the Air Tonight” was released 38 years ago and received three gold and six platinnum awards for selling more than four million records. In the following years, Collins cemented his status as a hit writer with songs such as “You Can't Hurry Love”, “Against all Odds”, or "Another Day in Paradise". Phil Collins has won an incredible 301 platinum and five diamond awards worldwide.

Collins started playing drums at the age of five. His career as a drummer in the band Genesis began in 1970. When the singer left the band, Phil took over the microphone and was very successful. And even though Collins can’t play drums anymore after an operation in 2009, and has to sit on a chair on stage, he’s still very successful and fills large concert halls with his loyal and passionate fans.

He received special recognition from his fans when he sang the title song for Tarzan "You'll be in my heart" in several languages, including Spanish.
