Phil Collins says he is retiring from music. The sixty-year-old pop singer says it's a good time for him to stop, saying, "I don't think anyone's going to miss me."
Collins noted that his physical ailments from a lifetime of drumming—including hearing problems, a dislocated vertebra and nerve damage in his hands—have contributed to his decision and noted, "I look at the MTV Music Awards and I think: 'I can't be in the same business as this.' I don't really belong to that world and I don't think anyone's going to miss me. I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely. I'll go on a mysterious biking holiday and never return. That would be a great way to end the story, wouldn't it?"

Yes Phil, yes it would. Please leave.
In The Air Tonight, yeah sure, it's a decent song but that's all he's got. Don't give me any bullshit about Sussudio, that song sucks. Genesis is better with Peter Gabriel at the helm. Of course there will always be Phil's catalog of music being played in movies and on radio until the end of time but the prospect of there not being anymore new music from the ugly old bastard is such good news.
