Phil Collins: New album possible

Yesterday (21/11/2013), the Tarzan-musical was premiered in Stuttgart, Germany. Phil Collins attended the show and made himself available for interviews. Collins spoke about the musical, but also about his life as a father and, surprisingly, about a possible comeback. Collins said that his sons want him to return to work and also to go on tour again. He said he wouldn’t care if his manager asked him that, but now that his sons want him to return, he is more motivated and takes it rather seriously. Collins may also be writing new songs. I have started thinking about doing new stuff”). No further details nor time-frame were mentioned. It is the first time that Phil Collins has publically expressed interest to write new songs or to play live again since he retired after his last album Going Back. Collins is still suffering from an verteba-injury, which makes it impossible for him to play drums these days.
