Like a Phil Collins song you can’t get out of your head, Phil Collins is back, yet again. Today, the 65-year-old singer announced plans for a European tour, dubbed “Not Dead Yet, Live” in London, Cologne, and Paris next summer. At a press conference in London, Collins, who first retired in 2002 and last toured in 2007, said that he initially retired to spend time with his family, but then started to drink after they split up. “I’m living with my young kids,” Collins said. “They want me to go out on the road and do my thing, and why not?” (Please do not tell Phil Collins about any formal petitions that might answer that rhetorical question.)
