The musician, 65, on boozing, soul music and being on Live Aid twice.

Here's our full interview (podcast) with Phil Collins.

Robert Plant has praised Genesis mainman Phil Collins for encouraging his solo career. And Plant reveals the vocalist and drummer’s positivity had a lasting impact and gave him the drive he needed to move on after Led Zeppelin split in 1980 following the death of sticksman John Bonham.

Monday marks the 30th anniversary of the globally televised Live Aid concerts for African famine relief, staged in London and in Philadelphia's long-gone JFK Stadium.

Phil Collins has slammed rumours he was high on cocaine at Live Aid, insisting he could never perform if he was on drugs.

Phil Collins wanted to storm off the stage in the middle of his Live AID performance with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, insisting: "It was a mistake - I was not welcome."

The ex-Genesis drummer was invited to pick up the sticks and join the former Led Zeppelin stars during their set at the U.S. leg of the historic charity concert in 1985.
