Phil Collins is a British pop rock musician, songwriter, and actor. Born on January 30, 1951 in Chiswick, London, England, he is best known as a member of Genesis. Initially joining the band as a drummer in 1970, he later became the lead vocalist after Peter Gabriel's departure in 1975. In addition to his work with Genesis, Collins embarked on a successful solo career starting in 1981.
Collins has made significant contributions to the music industry and was even inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003. With his versatile talents as a drummer, singer, and pianist, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his distinctive sound and heartfelt lyrics.
Aside from his musical achievements, Collins is also recognized for his personal life. He is the father of Simon Collins from his first marriage which ended in 1978. He also has two children named Lily Collins from his second marriage to Jill Tavelman (married in 1984 and divorced in 1994), and Nicholas Collins & Mathew Collins from his third marriage (married in 1999 and divorced in 2008). Furthermore, Phil's brother Clive Collins was a renowned cartoonist and illustrator.

One for the cognoscenti, Flaming Youth's sole album, 1969's Ark 2, marked the first time that future Genesis drummer (and later frontman) Phil Collins appeared on record. Now a collector's item, the concept album, inspired by the 1969 Moon landing, didn't quite send the group rocketing to fame, but it did start the countdown for Collins' giant leap into Genesis in the summer of 1970. Before that, however, he was the one-man engine room for Flaming Youth, whose touring schedule took them to Europe on more than one occasion before the group disbanded, resulting in some of Collins' earliest known recorded live performances. Featuring Ark 2 highlights such as Earthglow, Weightless and Space Child, plus an epic performance of selections from Gustav Holst's The Planets suite, these shows, recorded for broadcast by the flagship TV channels ORTF, in Paris, France; TROS in Hilversum, the Netherlands; and WDR in K?ln, Germany, point the way to the sky-scraping music Collins would soon be recording with Genesis, filling an important gap in British prog-rock history.
