Look into his eyes... Sad stuff, in my book. When this veteran of the 80s discovered he could sing, his solo career away from Genesis spiralled up and up – he had hits like In The Air Tonight and Another Day in Paradise for christ’s sake, including a fabulous cover of You Can’t Hurry Love by The Supremes; a guy covering a very girly song like that takes a lot of balls. Pleasant enough music, very thought-provoking in a lot of ways, and now he has officially announced his retirement from the music industry. Whether you love him so much you want to give his gracefully aged face a big sloppy kiss, or hate him so much you’d like to gag him with gaffa tape and torture him Yakuza-style… you’ve got to respect this dude.RIP Phil (I know he’s not dead, but you get the point).
