In his own words is the candid, witty, and unvarnished
story of the songs and shows, the hits and pans, the marriages and
divorces, the ascents to the top of the charts and into the tabloid
headlines.
As one of only three musicians to sell over 100 million
records both in a group and as a solo artist, Collins breathes rare air,
but he has never lost his talent for crafting songs that touch
listeners around the globe.
This is the story of his epic career, from child actor to one of the most successful songwriters of the pop music era. A
drummer since almost before he could walk, Collins received on-the-job
training in the seedy, thrilling bars and clubs of 1960s swinging London
before finally landing the drum seat in Genesis. Later he would step
into the spotlight on vocals after the departure of Peter Gabriel, and
compose the songs that would rocket him to international solo fame with
the release of Face Value and 'In the Air Tonight'.
Whether
he's recalling jamming with Eric Clapton and Robert Plant, pulling
together a big band fronted by Tony Bennett, playing twice at Live Aid,
or writing the Oscar-winning music for Disney's smash-hit animated film Tarzan, Collins keeps it intimate and his storytelling gift never wavers.
