Phil Collins will hit an Australian stage for the first time in 23 years this Saturday when the Not Dead Yet tour opens in Perth.
It’s not as if he recorded Say Say Say and The Girl Is Mine, is it? He didn’t cowrite either Do They Know It’s Christmas? or We Are the World. He hasn’t been accused of abusing women or children; and at no point did he step in as a replacement lead singer for Queen, Deep Purple or INXS.
Phil Collins is being touted as a contender for one of the top spots after festival boss John Giddings changed his cover photo on Facebook to a picture of the musician.
