In his much-awaited memoir, Not Dead Yet, he tells the story of his epic career, with an auspicious debut at age 11 in a crowd shot from the Beatles’ legendary film A Hard Day’s Night. A
drummer since almost before he could walk, Collins received on the job
training in the seedy, thrilling bars and clubs of 1960s swinging London
before finally landing the drum seat in Genesis.
Soon, he would
step into the spotlight on vocals after the departure of Peter Gabriel
and begin to stockpile the songs that would rocket him to international
fame with the release of Face Value
and “In the Air Tonight.” Whether he’s recalling jamming with Eric
Clapton and Robert Plant, pulling together a big band fronted by Tony
Bennett, or writing the music for Disney’s smash-hit animated Tarzan, Collins’s storytelling chops never waver. And of course he answers the pressing question on everyone’s mind: just what does “Sussudio” mean?
Not Dead Yet
is Phil Collins’s candid, witty, unvarnished story of the songs and
shows, the hits and pans, his marriages and divorces, the ascents to the
top of the charts and into the tabloid headlines. As one of only three
musicians to sell 100 million records both in a group and as a solo
artist, Collins breathes rare air, but has never lost his touch at
crafting songs from the heart that touch listeners around the globe.
That same touch is on magnificent display here, especially as he unfolds
his harrowing descent into darkness after his “official” retirement in
2007, and the profound, enduring love that helped save him.
This is Phil Collins as you’ve always known him, but also as you’ve never heard him before.
