Phil Collins spent millions on fake Alamo relics

I'd like to think this was some sort of crazy divorce tactic. Like, "you want my money? All right, you can have it...as shitty fake Alamo souvenirs!"

"These artifacts were found...in the basement."

Hahahaha…there’s no basement in the alamo! Hahahaa

Virtually the only thing I know about the alamo is that there's no basement. Phil's obsession is rather unusual for a brit.

His playing on Tears for Fears' "Woman in Chains" is so subtle and great. He has such a great grasp of groove.

The only thing I know about the Alamo is that Ozzy Osbourne peed on it.

We need a Behind The Candleabra but with Phil Collins in his prime, framed by this Alamo story.

YES

played by Meryl Streep

lmao

Rename thread to Defund Phil Collins.

Phil Collins' split from his third wife has landed him at the top of the list for the biggest divorce payout by a British celebrity in legal history, according to the U.K.'s Mirror. Collins, 57, reportedly paid Orianne Cevey, 35, $46.68 million, topping the Heather Mills-Paul McCartney divorce by $1 million.

Sweet

Ori, Please Lose My Number

Jude Law with prosthetics could win an Oscar as Phil.

or without them

idk I increasingly imagine Law as Simon Le Bon in the J'ran J'ran biopic.

Colin Hay as Phil Collin(s)

At this point, Jim Broadbent could be Phil Collins.

lol otm

At this point Phil Collen from Def Leppard could play Phil Collins, but only from the neck up. The rest should be mo-cap Andy Serkis.

Phil Collins even turned up in Miami Vice to play game show host/con man Phil “The Shill” Mayhew, who moved to Miami from London and quickly set about depleting the bank accounts of the city’s richest residents with a shady drug deal. pic.twitter.com/3C4ZsMs43l

Come and witness the sad passing of time

He seems so very old.

Just know that when he passes, people who never would even mention him will then be saying "he played on Taking Tiger Mountain etc" in large numbers

Oh man, his voice is sounding pretty pinched and weak, I wonder if he's on a lot of pain meds.

Give him one more night

Probably better to replace him with a hologram of fully-haired 1970s Phil.

“Fully haired”

Fully bearded, maybe.

That clip is sad for lots of reasons, not least that the tour hasn't even started yet. So yeah, he looks and sounds pretty weak ... and those are clips from the *rehearsal*, which means extra breaks, re-dos, etc. But the whole thing seems kind of sad and joyless. In that brief interview Mike sort of mumbles that this feels like a "nice time to do it." During a pandemic? With your drummer/singer weakened and incapacitated? Sure, Mike. Nice. The only nice thing about Genesis in 2021 is that they all do seem to have remained on good terms, even the ex-members, to an extent. Other than that, sorry, no.

Back when my buddy heard the band was reunited he got really excited and asked if I wanted to get tickets. I told him how terrible it feels to see a beloved band so far past its prime that you wish you could take back the new memory and return to the more positive old memories. I showed him a clip of Phil on his short tour in I think 2018, and he looked and sounded ... not great. And that was almost four years ago.

Yeah, the idea of a Genesis concert being anything but unwatchably sad seems... against all odds

I'd watch something like a Storytellers or Unplugged thingy though

They should all retire to a (second) home by the sea.

Waiting for nurse to tell them...
