The day the music... lost a survivor.
I was surprised to read that Phil Collins had decided to retire. I was coming to equate him with the energizer rabbit and figured he would keep going for ever.
Genesis drummer become front man, solo artist, film score writer, countless hits and albums to his name, I would have thought "when his time came" someone would find him resting on a piano bench or in a recording studio with a microphone in his hand.
I suppose at some point every artist hits creative exhaustion, but his stepping away from the limelight is a disappointment. With fewer and fewer artists able to take up the gauntlets of the likes of Phil, his retirement has further lessened availability of quality entertainment,
