'I'm not hungry for it anymore': Genesis star Phil Collins on returning to music
The Genesis star spent the band's final tour several years ago singing from a seated position while his son handled percussion duties.
Now, shedding light on his present physical condition and future plans for a comeback, the singer said he has no inclination to return to a recording studio in any capacity due to physical limitations that have taken away his desire to create new music.
In an interview with Mojo Magazine he said, "I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I'm not hungry for it anymore. The thing is, I've been sick, I mean, very sick."
A spinal injury in 2007 caused Collins severe nerve damage, and after a back operation, he suffered 'drop foot', a condition which makes it difficult to walk.
He also suffered a head injury in 2017. His son Nic played drums when Genesis did a final tour that ended in 2022.
In an interview in 2021, Collins announced that he wouldn't be returning to drumming on the group's farewell tour. He said, "I can barely hold a stick with this hand. I'm kind of physically challenged a bit, which is very frustrating."
Collins last released an album called Going Back in 2010. His last album of original material, Testify, was released in 2002.

Live Aid: ‘We switched it off when Status Quo came on'
Forty years ago this weekend, two concurrent concerts were held in London and Philadelphia in aid of relieving a brutal famine that had taken hold of Ethiopia. The legend of Live Aid has grown exponentially ever since. But each retelling draws upon the same familiar names and faces, the cameras trained on the contemporary darlings of Geldof and Collins, Freddie and Diana. The many millions who watched on from home are treated as a matter of scale, not depth. They are remembered as an amorphous blob of common opinion, a simplified version of the public that in reality can never exist. And yet four decades from the event itself, each individual person retains their own individual memory, full of colour and life and utterly unique to themselves. Peter Collins was one of the lucky ones. He grew up in Belfast, playing in bands and exploring the punk scene, a devoted reader of Melody Maker and the NME. Early in the morning on 13 July 1985, he and his schoolmate Alan headed for Belfast City Airport, bound for Heathrow, then London and Wembley. Already, he had a hunch that it was a day that he'd be talking about for years to come. Forty years later, he still remembers almost every detail. There was the young boy in the crowd who waited all day for David Bowie, only to suffer an epileptic fit at the very moment he took to the stage; the people with picnic blankets and baskets; the tray of room service sandwiches delivered up to their hotel room later that night. In fact, the only thing missing from Peter's memory is the music. 'We were going to it not because of how good the bands would be,' he explains. 'We were going to it because it felt like that was going to be the thing that was happening on that day, the thing that everybody in the world was going to be aware of.' Paul Rance was 25. He watched Live Aid from a sleepy village in the depths of rural Lincolnshire and describes it as one of the greatest days of his youth. 'For people who were a bit older than me, it would have been a bit like seeing England win the World Cup,' he says. 'A big communal event. It felt like Woodstock to me.' Joanne Ash was only nine. Sometimes she is unsure of which parts of the day really happened and which parts have been backfilled into a kind of false memory. Certainly, she recalls having been at a birthday party, the television blaring all day long inside the house as the guests filtered in sporadically from the outdoor sunshine. The party was in Feltham, a town on the western outskirts of London, less than 15 miles from Wembley Stadium. 'I'm convinced that we could hear it,' says Joanne. 'I've got this idea that we were in the garden going — did you hear that?! I'm sure it was round about the Queen performance. It was just a roar.' At just nine, she stood within earshot of the centre of the universe. Eighteen-year-old Simon Moffatt could hardly have been further away. He and his friends were on a holiday, walking between youth hostels in southwest Wales, with two of the group celebrating their birthdays. 'It was quite a big week for us, really. We would have just finished our A-levels. You get to that age and your whole friendship group starts to disband. 'One of our group had brought a little transistor radio with them. We arrived at this little bay, this tiny little bay in southwest Wales, and put this transistor radio on, listening to Status Quo (opening the concert with) 'Rockin' All Over the World'. Keith Webb travelled from Grimsby for the concert. He'd been to big gigs before, but this one felt different. 'I wasn't there for an audiophile experience,' he says. RM Clark, The Independent

Here's what Phil Collins learned while recording the soundtrack for 'Tarzan'
There is a reason the Tarzan soundtrack is so iconic, and it all has to do with Phil Collins. Musician and songwriter Phil Collins described the moment he realised he needed to sing all of the film's music in other languages. The singer sang in multiple different languages for the 'Tarzan' movie "Someone says, 'Excuse me, we go to 35 countries. So I'm afraid you're going to... are you going to try to sing in Spanish or Swahili?'" he recalled in the throwback clip. Before working on the Disney animated tale, Collins said he had "never ever sung anything in another language before," reported People. "So that's another plus, that's another new thing I've learned while doing this project," he added, noting that it "opened up a whole" new world to him. The old clip then shows Collins singing Strangers Like Me from the movie Tarzan in French and Spanish. Collins recorded the songs in five different languages: French, German, Italian, Spanish and English, reported People. Collins composed the soundtrack to the 1999 Disney film, which went on to win a Grammy for Best Soundtrack Album. You'll Be in My Heart bagged the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe for the same honour. The songs were written and composed by Collins, who performed alongside Glenn Close, Rosie O'Donnell and NSYNC, with an original score composed by Mark Mancina. The film, which made $448.2 million (Dh1.64 billion) worldwide, starring Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Brian Blessed, Wayne Knight, Close, and O'Donnell. In 2016, the famed musician's daughter, Lily Collins, told Harry Connick Jr. that one of her father's most recognisable songs was originally written as a lullaby for her.

'Sunrise' arrives at midnight for fans celebrating release of new 'Hunger Games' novel
Savannah Miller, 26 years old and a "Hunger Games' reader for half of her life, has only grown in admiration for Suzanne Collins' dystopian novels. "As a kid you focus so much on the plot and the action,' says Miller, a researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and among hundreds of fans at the Barnes & Noble in Manhattan's Union Square who attended the midnight launch party for "Sunrise on the Reaping,' published Tuesday. "As an adult I connected to the characters a lot more and had more of an emotional response. I also appreciated the writing a lot.' "Hunger Games' fans gathered in bookstores around the world for celebrations of Collins fifth novel in her blockbuster series about a post-apocalyptic society in which combatants are forced to fight on camera for their survival. Attendees in New York - some dressed as Haymitch Abernathy, Effie Trinket and other characters - went on scavenger hunts, attempted to solve "Hunger Games'-themed puzzles and tried out a "Hunger Games' trivia game so challenging that even Collins' editor, David Levithan, said he couldn't answer them all. This image released by Scholastic shows "Sunrise on the Reaping" by Suzanne Collins. AP Many arrivals Monday night were women in their 20s and 30s who had loved the books in middle school and renewed their attachment when Collins unexpectedly resumed the novels five years ago. "I've been reading the books since I was 12," says 23-year-old actor Ella Dolynchuk. "It's a big part of my life, my childhood, and I love reading them as an adult when I can really understand them." "Sunrise on the Reaping' had already reached No. 1 on Amazon before its publication and is widely expected to be one of the year's biggest fiction sellers. Although the book was embargoed before its official sales date, gleeful fans were posting videos on social media in recent days that showed off advanced copies apparently shipped too early or prematurely placed on shelves, including at Los Angeles Airport, a Sam's Club in California and an Indigo bookstore in Canada. According to Scholastic Inc., the four previous books have sold tens of millions of copies and have been published in 55 languages. Film adaptations helped launch the career of Jennifer Lawrence, who starred as the heroine Katniss Everdeen in the movies based on the first three books, and have grossed more than $3 billion worldwide. A screen version of "Sunrise on the Reaping' is scheduled for November 2026, with Francis Lawrence returning as director. Fans appear at a midnight launch party for "Sunrise on the Reaping" by Suzanne Collins at Barnes & Noble bookstore in New York on Tuesday. AP Collins had planned to end the series after the third book, "Mockingjay,' which came out in 2010. But she startled readers and the publishing world by announcing a decade later that she was working on a fourth volume, the prequel "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes." Levithan was among those who had not suspected that Collins was returning to the ravaged land of Panem. "She decides and then she springs it on me,' Levithan said Monday night at the Barnes & Noble launch. "We had never talked about prequels. The trilogy was the trilogy, and then she realized she had more to say.' The new book begins at sunrise, with the reaping of the Fiftieth Hunger Games. It's set 24 years before the original "Hunger Games' novel, which came out in 2008, and 40 years after "Songbirds and Snakes.' Collins has drawn upon Greek mythology and the Roman gladiator games for her earlier books. For "Sunrise on the Reaping,' her muses included the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume. "With 'Sunrise on the Reaping,' I was inspired by David Hume's idea of implicit submission and, in his words, 'the easiness with which the many are governed by the few,'' Collins, who did not attend the Barnes & Noble event and rarely gives interviews, said in a statement released when the new book was announced. "The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question 'Real or not real?' seems more pressing to me every day.' "Sunrise' centers on a teenage Haymitch, who will age into Katniss' sardonic, alcoholic mentor, and includes references to various other characters and subplots in previous books. New York Times reviewer Jennifer Harlan on Tuesday called the novel a "propulsive, heart-wrenching addition' to the series that adds 'welcome texture to the cruel world of Panem." People magazine's Lizz Schumer noted some passages could be seen as references to current events, including "If you can get people to laugh at someone, it makes them look weak.' On Monday, lines began to form four hours before the store's doors opened: 34-year-old Elizabeth Kelly was among the first to arrive. She thinks of the series as her "comfort books,' while also calling them "survival stories that feel more and more relevant." "It takes a lot of imagination to expand a world and say something new every time,' she said. "I feel like she's writing the books to tell us something and not just writing books to make money.'
