Phil Collins to retire after 30 years of music

Posted: 04/25/2008 by Jazzed Java

Phil Collins is all set to call it a day after 30 years in the music industry. While he’s not really calling it quits, Collins admits that he wants to be in a more behind-the-scenes role as he pursues a more leisurely life:

… the 57-year-old hopes he will now have more time to indulge in his favorite hobby - collecting memorabilia from the Battle Of The Alamo, the historical 1836 clash between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texan forces in San Antonio, Texas

One of my personal favorites, Collins has always seemed to pour all of his personal experience and emotion into his music.
