Why is Genesis getting back together?
Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford confirmed the reunion this morning on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 show.
Tony said: “I think it’s a natural moment. We’re all good friends, we’re all above grass and… here we are.”
Guitarist Mike added: “I’m looking forward to doing it, I worked it out and we’ve only done two shows in the UK in the last 28 years, so we haven’t over-worked it.”
The announcement comes amid fears over drummer Phil Collins’ health.
But speaking on BBC Radio 2, Collins said the setlist was coming together.
He said: “There are songs that you feel you have to play because the audience would feel cheated if you didn’t,
“We’re still working out what the order will be.”
Founding member Peter Gabriel, who left the group in 1975, will not be taking part. however.
Guitarist Steve Hackett will also miss the shows – but Collins’ 18-year-old son Nicholas will appear on drums and Daryl Stuermer on guitar and bass.
