Genesis Reunion Imminent?

Rockers Genesis could be a step closer to reuniting after former guitarist Steve Hackett confirmed he'd received a call from the band's management.

Hackett, who inspired talks of a comeback in a string of recent interviews, was thrilled when his phone rang to discuss the idea further.

The I Know What I Like hitmakers split in 1998, although original frontman Peter Gabriel handed singer duties to drummer Phil Collins when he left to pursue a solo career in 1975.

But the band's guitarist is confident all five members of the original act could soon return to the studio soon.

Hackett says, "There's a movement to put us all together again. I do think it will happen.

"Whether you call it progressive rock or classic rock, the music still has a lot to say."
