Phil Collins working on new music for the first time in over 20 years
nme.comPhil Collins may be working on new music for the first time in over two decades.The Genesis frontman hasn’t released an album of original music since Disney’s Brother Bear soundtrack in 2003.
One year prior to that, he released his last solo studio album ‘Testify’.Now it seems that new music may be on the horizon. The revelation came via a Facebook post last night (August 19) from record producer and journalist Simon Napier-Bell.
Napier-Bell had interviewed Collins at his home in Switzerland for a new documentary about The Marquee Club. The iconic venue, which notably hosted the first-ever live performance from the Rolling Stone, closed its doors in 2008 after 50 years.
It was later revived for one night only last year.Napier-Bell wrote that Collins was “in top form, full of wicked stories,” and “hugely fun”, before revealing that the ‘In The Air Tonight’ singer had recently had his studio revamped.“For sure, before too long we’re going to hear some new music,” Napier-Bell continued.THE MARQUEE MOVIE…Yesterday we filmed Phil Collins at his house by Lake Geneva.
