Phil Collins Expresses Hopefulness About
Playing In A Genesis Reunion Again
Turn It On Again? Well, not just yet, but it seems that there is hope that
one day another Genesis reunion may happen. In a
recent article, Phil Collins says that he hopes to one day be able to
perform again with his recently inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band.
This is a surprising comment after Tony Banks' statement in February that he
thought the band was done. Only time will tell, but where there is optimism
there is hope!
