It's not easy being a Peter Gabriel fan in 2018. He hasn't released an album of original tunes since 2002's Up, even if he's supposedly been picking away at a follow-up called I/O since 2005.

Peter Gabriel is the kind of guy you would call a musical genius without feeling as though you’re stretching the truth.

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.

From Friday 18 May Peter's music catalogue will start to be released on Spotify.

Whatever happened to Mick Strickland? He was one of hundreds of vocalists who applied for the job of lead singer in Genesis after Peter Gabriel left the band. Strickland even made it as far as Trident Studios to sing with the band. However, it didn’t work out.

One of those musical fogies has long been Peter Gabriel, the U.K. artist perhaps best known here in the States for his eye-popping videos and providing the soundtrack to Lloyd Dobler's boombox hoisting plea in Say Anything (a move recently given a smartphone upgrade in Deadpool 2).

Peter Gabriel’s ground breaking video for the song ‘Sledgehammer’ has been newly remastered in high definition 4K by the team at Aardman and premieres from today on Apple Music.

Here, some little-known facts about the singer's groundbreaking stop-motion music video for "Sledgehammer."

Peter Gabriel is a well-respected musician, artist, and performer who was the lead singer in 70s prog giants Genesis before carving a name for himself as a solo artist. He has released multiple superb records including his self-titled records, So, Us, and Up.

Peter Gabriel's longtime bassist, Tony Levin, recalls working on the 1977 album.
