Stand down; dry your tears. Phil Collins is NOT retiring, despite what you've heard. People says:
He's just recuperating from surgery to correct some nerve damage, and sounds cheerful and relaxed in the interview. This is quite different from the Phil described in a Rolling Stone profile last year, the one who confessed to the occasional suicidal thought:
As for the Alamo, he's . . . quite interested in it.
We wish him well. Never understood all the Phil Collins hate. Okay, Su-su-sudio, but he was a fine drummer. An actual musician. They're increasingly rare these days.
