Summary The Genesis front man and successful solo artist presents a reflective memoir that shares insights into the remarkable experiences behind many of his iconic songs and performances, discussing his early years, relationships with fellow artists, and struggles with addiction.
A drummer almost before he could walk, Collins received on-the-job training in the seedy, thrilling bars and clubs of 1960s swinging London before finally landing the drum seat in Genesis, and stockpiling stockpile the songs that would rocket him to international fame. This is his unvarnished story of the songs and shows, the hits and pans, his marriages and divorces, the drinking and the deafness, the ascents to the top of the charts and into the tabloid headlines, and his harrowing descent into darkness after his "official" retirement in 2007.
