PHIL COLLINS – AGE 70

When Phil Collins retired from the music scene in 2002, his fans couldn’t help but wish that he would come back. Only after he stopped producing music that the world missed him. The musician started out as a drummer for the band Genesis in 1970 and was also the back-up singer for Peter Gabriel. He then went on to pursue a solo career which had its ups and downs. Collins was asked by Disney to compose as well as perform songs for their animated movie, Tarzan.

Although Collins cited his loss of hearing on his left ear as one of the reasons for his retirement, his fans welcomed him back in 2011 when he started performing again. He has released an autobiography called, Not Dead Yet!, which only he can pull off. He has put a lot of investment money on a property in Miami, but he also owns land in England.
