Phil Collins, the legendary lead singer and drummer of Genesis, has had a tremendous amount of success in the music business throughout his remarkable career. He is honored to be included in the select group of musicians, including Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, who have together sold over 100 million records in both solo and group projects. Born in London, England on January 30, 1951, to parents with a passion for the arts, Collins was surrounded by music from a young age.
Collins’s uncle gave him a homemade drum kit when he was five years old. His unique sound would be shaped by this kit, which included miniature drums, triangles, cymbals, and tambourines, and it would also set the path for his musical career.
Collins was enthralled with the burgeoning English beat culture as a child, led by bands like The Shadows. Playing often at parties thrown by his parents’ boating club, he embraced the new and vibrant musical scene that was developing.
Collins was intrigued to the rock and roll genre after being exposed to it. He bought a record player and The Beatles’ “Please Please Me” album when he was fourteen years old. He put his drum set in front of a mirror and turned up the sound so he could practice drumming more. He could participate in this way without having to look away.
Collins was motivated to learn how to read drum sheet music, so he started tutoring students. He was aware of the usefulness of written music for playing in orchestras or dancing bands, but he soon found that playing purely intuitively spoke to him more.
Collins’ life unexpectedly took an unexpected turn in the 1970s when he came across an ad looking for a drummer for the band Genesis. Collins took a chance and contacted them, and they accepted him, ushering in his remarkable musical career.
Collins was essential to Genesis during his tenure, eventually taking over as lead vocalist when other acceptable alternatives failed to materialize. Collins overcame difficulties in adjusting to his dual duty as drummer and vocalist and went on to become one of the best musicians in the business.
Collins had enormous success both as a solo artist and as a member of Genesis. He produced singles that will never be forgotten, including “In The Air Tonight,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” and “I Don’t Care Anymore.” He chose to pursue other musical endeavors after 25 years with Genesis, concentrating on solo work, film music, and jazz ventures. But he got back together with his old bandmates in 2017 to go on the world tour for Last Domino.
Sadly, the tour had to be postponed because of the epidemic. Concerns regarding Collins’ health surfaced during an interview with BBC Breakfast, just before the tour started. With Collins returning to the vocals and his son Nicholas Collins taking up the drums, the band is optimistic about upcoming shows.
Although Nicholas is a superb drummer, Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks recognizes that he adds a special force to the songs from the early Phil Collins catalog. Phil said, “I’d like to, but I can scarcely grip a stick with this hand,” in response to a question regarding his absence from the drum kit. Collins is adamant about pursuing his musical dreams despite his physical restrictions and is willing to get over any barriers that stand in his way.
The narrator himself, a man our age, spoke openly and with a deep sense of loss about his physical struggles in a recent interview. He thought about how he could never travel with his son or share in his travels. He had to make a tough choice on whether to pursue his musical career further or give it up. It was obvious that either because of physical constraints or deliberate decisions, he would have to give up something that was important to him. He worried a lot about the consequences of missing out on life’s prospects because things were changing so quickly.
Despite everything, Phil Collins continues to be an inspiration, exhibiting fortitude and a strong love of music despite hardship. His story offers as a monument to the strength of pursuing one’s goals in spite of obstacles. We celebrate the lasting impact he has made on the music industry and look forward to his potential future musical efforts as we reflect on his incredible career.
The Internet Is Losing It Over This Hidden Leopard In The Snow Picture
There are many different types of pictures that we can appreciate. They sometimes say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and I think that the picture we have for you below certainly qualifies.
The reason why it qualifies is because it shows something that is near and dear to our hearts, the ability of animals. When you think about camouflage, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? More than likely, you think of somebody wearing a camouflage outfit.
The fact the matter is, however, many animals have a natural type of camouflage and they can hide in plain sight. They may be right in front of us but unless you know where they are, you
will never be able to see them.
That is true of the leopard in the picture we have for you here. There isn’t a camouflage jacket or anything else that would hide him other than what he already has available.
When you look at the picture, however, it just looks like you are looking at a scene that you might see in any National Park. It’s amazing, but if you look closely enough, there is a leopard hiding in the picture. You can see him because he is perfectly camouflaged but they are there looking at you.
When this was shared online, people were absolutely blown away by the fact that a leopard was hiding in the picture. Automatically, they assume that the leopard is white, but that is not the case.
Like many animals, leopards are able to hide in plain sight. It helps them to get closer to their prey so that they can eat more frequently. In addition, it helps them hide from other animals that may want to do them harm.
The challenge was put out on Reddit for people to find the hidden leopard, and the Internet was absolutely losing its mind. Even though the post was put up six months ago, many people are still looking for the leopard.
Some people thought that it was a trick and that the leopard didn’t actually exist. We are going to point it out for you below, however, just so you know we are telling the truth.
I’d like to give you a warning before you scroll down to see the answer. The leopard is there and it is not some type of trick photography. Once you see where it is located, however, you
will not be able to stop seeing it.
Take a moment to try to find it on your own and then if you are not able to find it, scroll down and see the answer below.
