Eighties rock giants GENESIS are reforming a decade after lead singer PHIL COLLINS left the group to focus on a solo career.
Phil Collins performs on 'The Today Show', at the Rockefeller Center. New York City, USA - 23.06.06
Collins, MIKE RUTHERFORD and TONY BANKS will reunite next year (07) to embark on a tour of the US and Europe. In their heyday, the group sold more than 130 million records worldwide with hits such as TURN IT ON AGAIN, I CAN'T DANCE and INVISIBLE TOUCH, and are still one of the Top 30 biggest-selling music acts of all time.
A friend of Collins tells, "The band really want to get it on again.
"They always remained friends and just thought it was time to begin again, especially since Phil's break-up with (third wife) ORIANNE has left him with time on his hands."
A spokesman for the group says, "Genesis were huge in Britain and America and there remains a lot of affection for them.
"And the tour is likely to make them millions."
