In February the Rock Hall announced 17 nominees for the Performer category which were then narrowed to just 8 inductees by a panel of 1,200 artists, historians and industry professionals.

Both Sade, Nigerian-British front woman of her namesake band, and English rocker Billy Idol have been nominated once before. Meanwhile heavy metal band, Iron Maiden, have been nominated three times for the honor. Phil Collins was inducted in 2010 as a member of Genesis, but this is his first nomination as a solo act.

2026’s nomination marks the third consecutive year of the nod for Oasis. Frontman Liam Gallagher shared his thoughts on the induction on X this morning saying “ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame.”

I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it’s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it’s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream LG x

— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) April 14, 2026

The sentiment is contrary to his previous comments on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Gallagher dismissed the band’s 2025 nomination, writing on X “RNR hall of fame is for WANKERS.”

This morning, a fan responded to Gallagher’s acknowledgment of the induction asking, “what happened to not wanting to be in it.” Gallagher said that speaking with his mother changed his mind: “she thinks I may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organization she’s told me to stop being a d**k and go to the awards and behave and you never know you might enjoy it.”

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson has also expressed critique with the Hall of Fame. On a tour in 2018 Dickinson said he believed the Hall was “a load of bollocks” and in 2023 he told The Telegraph “I don’t want to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, because we’re not dead yet!”

Sade’s induction carries significance with it, as she will be the first British Black woman inducted into the Hall of Fame. Sade was born in Nigeria and has lived in the UK since age 4. Her nominal band broke America, seeing great success there: 2010’s ‘Soldier of Love’ went Number 1 on the US Billboard 200 Charts.

Other induction categories include Early Influence featuring, Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti, Queen Latifa, MC Lyte and Gram Parsons.

Also to be inducted but into the Musical Excellence category is Rick Rubin, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller.

Finally, receiving the Ahmet Ertegun Award, given to a non-performing professional, is Ed Sullivan.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2026 Induction ceremony will take place at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday 14 November. In December, a recording will air on Disney+ and ABC.

The documentary includes interviews with Collins recorded in Vevey, Switzerland, in October 2022, just months after his retirement from touring in March. This followed Genesis’ final performance at London’s O2 Arena, marking the end of an era for the legendary group.

Joining Collins in these interviews is his son, Nic, who served as drummer for his father’s later tours. Their discussions dive deeply into the specifics of drumming techniques and iconic fills, with Nic reflecting on stepping into his father’s role. One interviewee remarks: “What other sixteen-year-old could do those Genesis parts?” showing just how crucial Nic’s lifelong connection to his father’s music was in him earning his role.

The documentary traces Collins’ journey from receiving his first drum at age three to joining Genesis in 1970 after responding to an advert in music newspaper, Melody Maker. Peter Gabriel, then the band’s lead singer, reportedly recognised Collins’ talent instantly.

The film also explores the development of Collins’ signature drumming style, a blend of traditional acoustic kits and electronic pads, which helped define the sound of hits like ‘Invisible Touch’. Reflecting on his transition to lead vocalist following Gabriel’s departure, Collins commented, “I’m a drummer who also sings,” downplaying his rise as a frontman despite his theatrical experience undoubtedly bolstering his confidence.

Iconic moments from his solo career feature prominently. The creation of “In the Air Tonight,” including its iconic drum fill, is unpacked. Collins revealed that the now-famous fill wasn’t part of the original demo but came later, becoming a defining element of his sound. During his time as a record producer, Collins was asked to do an “In the Air Tonight’ fill more than once.  

The documentary delves into the making of ‘Easy Lover’, his chart-topping collaboration with Philip Bailey. Written during Bailey’s album sessions, the track was initially dubbed ‘Tuesday Lover’ before its evolution into a worldwide hit.  

Health issues also form a key part of the narrative. Collins dislocated vertebrae in his neck during a 2007 Genesis reunion tour, resulting in nerve damage that made drumming impossible. “After playing drums for 50 years, I’ve had to stop,” he said in 2009. Multiple surgeries followed, and he performed his final tours seated, with Nic taking over drumming duties.  

The physical toll of drumming is further discussed by contributors like Liberty DeVitto, Billy Joel’s longtime drummer. “I’ll deal with it later. We [felt like we] were invincible” DeVitto remarked, addressing the attitude toward the health of drummers of Collins’ generation.

As Collins reflects on a 50-year career, he’s philosophical about his retirement. “If I can’t do what I did as well as I did it, I’d rather relax and not do anything.”

Phil Collins: Drummer First captures the impact of a musical icon across the years, offering viewers a detailed tribute to his journey and legacy that will leave you wanting to listen to all of his greatest hits.

Speaking with The Wall Street Journal, President Bob Valentine spoke on Concord’s plans with their newly acquired rights. He states how they plan to distribute the music through avenues that capture the younger generation’s attention. Valentine continues, “In the world we live in today with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, all these things that drive consumption of older music… there are definitely ways for us as a record company to bring some of this music back to life,”

Included within the deal are a collection of Genesis’ biggest tracks; music included in the agreement are “Follow You, Follow Me“, “Land Of Confusion“, “Invisible Touch“, “In Too Deep“, and “That’s All“. Those affected by the new deal are Genesis’s current bandmembers, Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks; incorporated within the agreement is music recorded by the band Genesis and work from the musicians’ solo careers.

Music from Collins’ highly successful solo career is also part of the deal, the deal incorporates such hits as “Against All Odds“, “You’ll Be In My Heart“, and the beloved song “In the Air Tonight“. Many of Collins’ hits include covers of previously released songs; the deal with Concorde includes covers like the drummer’s version of The Supremes’ “You Can’t Hurry Love” and the 1988 release of Diane & Annita’s “A Groovy Kind Of Love“.

Also included within the new acquisition is music from Rutherford’s music created with Mike And The Mechanics. The co-founder of Genesis formed Mike And The Mechanics in 1985 as a side project whilst on break from Genesis, the band’s biggest hits include “The Living Years” and “Over My Shoulder“. Those who the deal will not affect include former Genesis band members, most notably Peter Gabriel. Concorde has not acquired the rights to his music; this includes his work created as a solo artist and music created by Gabriel during his time in Genesis.

Based in California, Concord is a global music company that specialises within the music industry’s publishing and recording arm. The company itself had been running since its official formation in 2004; its predecessor was Concord Records which was formed in 1973 and found its origins within the Jazz music genre. The long-standing company distributes worldwide through conglobate Universal Music Group, a partnership which has proved profitable. Concord Music Group Inc is also known for its roster of record labels; those associated with the company include Fearless Records, Rounder Records, Sugar Hill Records, Stax Records, Fantasy Records, Kidz Bop and Victory Records.

— Genesis (@genesis_band) October 8, 2021

Genesis embarked on their final tour on September 20^th, kicking it off with a show at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham. The band is also set to embark on a run of North American shows in November, starting off at the United Center in Chicago, IL and ending on the 16^th of December at the TD Garden in Boston, MA. The tour was titled The Last Domino? to suggest some ambiguity as to whether or not this would indeed be Genesis’ last hurrah, however, singer Phil Collins has since made it known that this tour will indeed mark the end of Genesis, telling MOJO; “This English and American tour, that will be enough for me.” Guitarist Mark Rutherford said in the same interview; “We’re a good age. I’ve been doing it for over 50 years… I’ve loved it. But at the same time, you can’t get too lost in work.”

Phil Collins explained to BBC Breakfast last month that his ongoing health issues had taken quite a toll on his ability to perform, and that his son Nic would be taking his place behind the drum kit for the upcoming tour. He said in regard to this; “I’m one of his many influences, being his dad. He plays like me and he kinda has the same attitude as me, so that was a good starter.” Collins has unfortunately been dealing with nerve damage since sustaining a spinal injury in 2007, and explained in this recent interview that he could “barely hold a stick”. Since the beginning of the tour, Collins has been performing sitting down.

Genesis has stated that they will be updating fans on the state of the postponed dates as soon as possible via their website and social media. Other than this, the band has also made it clear that all purchased tickets will remain valid, and that ticket holders will be contacted by their ticket providers once the dates have been rescheduled. You can read their full statement here. 

Ban members Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins announced last year that they were reuniting for a tour called The Last Domino?. The band will be playing together for the first time since 2017 and are set to be joined on the tour by Nic Collins on drums, and guitarist/bassist Daryl Stuermer.

The UK run was originally set for November and December 2020 before it was pushed back to April and then again to September all because of the coronavirus pandemic and now it will be preceded by a newly announced North American run. You can see them rehearsing for the tour below.

Just before the start of the UK leg of the tour beginning tonight, Collins has ruled out any further dates from the band, saying these will be the last Genesis shows ever. In a new interview with Mojo, Collins said “This English and American tour, that will be enough for me.”

This comes off the back of the news earlier this month, where in a rare interview Phil Collins gave fans an update on his ongoing health battles and their effect on his ability to perform.

The musician has been suffering from nerve damage since a spinal injury back in 2007, where he damaged the vertebrae in his upper neck. He Discussed Genesis’ forthcoming reunion tour which will see his son Nic taking his place behind the kit – he said “I’m kind of physically challenged a bit which is very frustrating because I’d love to be playing up there with my son.”

After the tour begins in Birmingham tonight, the band will head around the UK before the leg wraps up with three dates at The O2 in London in mid-October. A North American run will then begin from mid-November, taking the band through until a week before Christmas.

The artists’ health issues have occurred from a spinal injury that Collins suffered in 2007. Since the initial injury which saw Collins damage his vertebrae, the drummer has been experiencing nerve damage. The injury and its damaging effects cause Collins to sometimes use a wheelchair and has now affected his ability to perform.

The Genesis band member recently gave an interview to BBC Breakfast, within the interview Collins shared an update on his health and how it has impacted the group’s upcoming tour. The drummer’s son, Nic Collins, will be following in his father’s footsteps and will take his place behind the drum kit during the group’s reunion tour. Although Collins will not be able to assume his place behind the kit, he will still be able to sing and join his band members and son on stage.

Collins provided the following answer when asked about the tour’s replacement member, Collins also described how his ability to play has been affected by his health concerns. “I’m kind of physically challenged a bit which is very frustrating because I’d love to be playing up there with my son. No. No, I would love to but, you know, I mean I can barely hold a stick with this hand, so there are certain physical things that get in the way.”

The “Invisible Touch” performers will embark on their reunion tour entitled The Last Domino tour on 20th September 2021 with a set at Utilita Arena in Birmingham and will finish on 13th October 2021 at O2 Arena in London. The tour was initially confirmed in March 2020 but has been rescheduled to this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, The Last Domino tour consists of 16 dates and is being billed as the group’s farewell tour. The group’s union tour is a mere four years before Collin’s played his solo performances within the Not Dead Yet Tour, the tour’s setlist included Collins’ best-known solo material such as “Against All Odds” and “Sussudio”. Named after the artist’s autobiography, the tour included a sold-out show in Newcastle. The tour also included dates around the US and Europe and some performances also featured his son Nic on drums.

When the tour’s announcement was made, Collins had this to say regarding his 20-year-old son’s fledging musical ability and the musical similarities in which the father and son hold. “He plays a bit like me when he wants to, one of his many influences, being his dad. He plays like me and he kinda has the same attitude as me, so that was a good starter.”

In July of this year, the group also announced the release of The Last Domino, a new collection perfect for any Genesis or Phil Collins fan. The new collection of 27 songs has been marketed as a companion to the group’s upcoming tour. The new release is available to order as 4LP edition as well as 2CD configuration, both can be pre-ordered before their release date of 17th September 2021.

Collins was in good spirits in joining his old bandmembers for their rehearsals, despite the ongoing drama with his ex wife, Orianne Cevey who married her younger lover Thomas Bates at a secret wedding in August before moving into their Miami mansion.

A few days before rehearsals, Collins was accused by Cevey of setting up hidden cameras in her changing room and bathroom, spying on her. This has led to an explosive ongoing legal battle whereby Phil is trying to recover his mansion after claiming the newly wed couple are, ‘trespassers,’ and that they have taken his home over having employed armed guards, ”through a show of force’.- The Daily Mail 

The couple reciprocated his claims by saying that the lawsuit was simply a retaliation to their marriage and that he was ‘fabricated’ with a ‘shameful story.’

Phil’s son Nic has taken his place in the band on the drums due to his spinal condition. Phil comments about his son stepping in for him, “I didn’t elbow him into the band. You can’t force a drummer onto these guys.”-Music-news.com

Bandmember Tony gave his initial thoughts on Nic joining by saying, “When I first heard Phil was using Nic, I thought it was a stupid thing to do. Nic was only 16. But then reports started coming back about how good he was, the real deal. I saw Phil’s show at the Albert Hall and Nic was just incredible.”

In recalling their first rehearsal with Nic, Tony said, “The first songs we played were ‘No Son of Mine’ and ‘Land of Confusion’. Mainly because they’re the two easiest. “Nic knew them better than we did. He showed us up – embarrassingly so. While the trio are looking forward to the tour, they’ve no plans to make a new album.”- Music-news.com

Genesis formed whilst at Charterhouse Boarding School in 1967  in Godalming, Surrey with Peter Gabriel as the original lead singer. When Gabriel left the band in 1975, drummer Phil Collins took over as the band’s frontman. Collins left in 1996 and was replaced by Ray Wilson. The next album, ‘Calling All Stations,’ released in 1997, was unsuccessful which resulted in the band splitting for 10 years, until their reunion tour in 2007.

As well as being one of the worlds best selling groups having sold more than one million records, they have also had 21 UK Top 40 hits and six number one albums.

The first news of the tour came when a throwback photo was posted on the band’s Instagram page with the caption “And then there were three…”. This cryptic message, along with a post from Radio 2 announcing that “a massive band are reuniting” caused fans to theorize that they would be back together soon.

Collins has hinted a reunion a few times, including in 2018, when he told Rolling Stone “I did mention to Tony very quietly if we did anything again it would be with Nic on drums.” Nic, Collins’ 18-year-old son, is also a drummer and has played drums on his father’s tour in 2016. Collins is unfortunately unable to play due to nerve damage to his hands, so he now takes the role of only the lead vocalist.

Additionally, when asked by Rolling Stone if he would be interested in drumming for a Genesis reunion, Nic said that he would definitely want to: “That Genesis stuff, drum-wise, is something else; absolutely unbelievable.” This morning, it was confirmed, along with Daryl Stuermer playing guitar and bass.

It’s official.@genesis_band are back together and heading out on tour later this year! Hear the band chatting to @ZoeTheBall right now on @BBCSounds https://t.co/TuXpxQoWkG pic.twitter.com/S9n2MDAEmK — BBC Radio 2 (@BBCRadio2) March 4, 2020

The band are looking forward to the tour just as much as fans are, with guitarist Mike Rutherford saying “It feels great, it feels the right time, we’re looking forward to doing it. A lot of our contemporaries have been playing a lot – we’ve done two shows in the UK in the last 28 years.”

Other details which were addressed on Radio 2 included the potential setlist. Collins said “There are songs you feel you have to play because the audience would feel cheated if you didn’t, then it’s a question of putting the rest of the stuff together from songs we haven’t played for a long time.”

Genesis are delighted to announce that @tonybanksmusic, @PhilCollinsFeed

Genesis formed in 1967, and have released 15 studio albums which all charted highly – their fourth album, ‘Foxtrot’, was their highest-charting release. Their sound progressed throughout each album, beginning as rock, eventually adding more pop influences, though still staying true to their core sound. They have sold 21.5 million albums copies in the US and an estimated 150 million worldwide.

It has been thirteen years since the band last toured in 2007, and now they plan their ‘Last Domino Tour’, with tickets going on sale at 9am on 6^th March. See the full tour dates below and find more information on the official website.

Collins announced his retirement in 2011, after nerve damage left him unable to play the drums, but revealed last year he planned to go on tour.

Collins told the Guardian: “It’s going to be a romp through my songs that people love”, but said it would be unlikely that he would play the drums and will just be singing. His son, Nicholas will be joining him on tour, playing the drums instead.

He also told the newspaper: “I don’t think I’ll ever be able to play the way I used to, something happened one night on that last Genesis tour and after that point, it never came back. I tried heavier sticks, I tried to use bigger cymbals, I just couldn’t get any power. It’s a bit of a mystery why it happened but I’m 65 and I’ve been playing since I was five years old.”

Collins achieved more UK top 40 singles than any other artist of the 1980s, with hit singles including ‘In the Air Tonight’ and ‘Against all Odds’. Between 1983 and 1990, Collins managed three UK and seven US number-one singles in his solo career.

“I thought I would retire quietly,” Collins told the BBC. “But thanks to the fans, my family and support from some extraordinary artists I have rediscovered my passion for music and performing.

“I changed my mind. I’m living with my young kids and they want me to go out on the road, do some new things, and there’s no reason why not.”

He has named his tour ‘Not Dead Yet’, a hint to his struggles with alcoholism following divorce from his third wife in 2008.

Tickets for his London shows will go on sale on October 21, with pre-sale tickets for O2 customers being released tomorrow (Tuesday 18). The prices range from £61-£191. Details of dates are below.
