Phil Collins is a 2026 Inductee! One of the most commercially successful artists of all time, officialphilcollins has achieved over 150 million records sold as both a solo artist and a member of genesis_band, the group that earned him his first Induction in 2010. Rising first as a drummer, his distinctive voice and emotionally direct songwriting quickly made him a global star, as he moved fluidly from progressive rock into pop, R&B, and soul. Joining Genesis in 1970, Collins became one of his generation’s most inventive drummers before stepping in as lead singer after Peter Gabriel’s departure. He helped guide the band to chart success with songs like Follow You Follow Me while launching a solo career marked by Face Value and “In the Air Tonight,” known for its iconic drum sound. By the mid-1980s, he was a global phenomenon. Watch the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in December on abc and disneyplus. #RockHall2026
