Genesis won’t turn it on again, staging what was billed as its final concert Saturday night at London’s 02 arena.
Phil Collins, the group’s former drummer, was joined by keyboardist Tony Banks and guitarist Mike Rutherford. Collins, age 71 and increasingly frail with back and hip issues, sat center stage throughout. He was in good humor, though, reportedly quipping at one point that he’ll now need to find a real job after the band’s demise.
Genesis’ “The Last Domino? Tour” came after a 14-year live performance hiatus. It was also postponed during the pandemic. The group’s final tour included concerts in the U.K. last September and in North America last fall, concluding with another 14 concerts in Europe and the U.K.
The trio were joined on the tour by Collins’ son, Nic, who also filled in for his father behind the kit during his recent solo tours.

When Genesis announced plans for their Last Domino? reunion tour earlier this year, many old-school fans were disappointed to learn that original frontman and Peter Gabriel and prog-era guitarist Steve Hackett weren’t going to be involved. Instead, it was essentially a reformation of the 1978 to 1992 lineup of Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks and Daryl Stuermer — with Phil’s teenage son Nic taking the place of Chester Thompson behind the drum kit.
In a new interview with Mojo, the band explains the decision. “I think a reunion with Steve and Pete would be uphill,...

Genesis announced a 10-date reunion tour of the U.K. and Ireland this morning. It’s their first tour since 2007, their first time playing since Phil Collins suffered nerve damage that makes it impossible for him to drum or even stand for long periods of time, and their first tour with Phil’s teenage son Nic on drums.
The news is a huge deal for fans of the progressive-rock band, but the original announcement was short on details. It merely lists the five musicians on the tour (Phil Collins, Tony Banks,...

Genesis fans who have spent the last 13 years praying for a reunion woke up this morning to the news that Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks were photographed together last night at a Knicks game.
According to the fan site Genesis News, there are rumors that the group met up in the city to “test the waters for future activities.”
Still, these rumors require some very, very large caveats. First, Collins turns 69 in one week, so the band might be in town for a birthday party. After all, they...

In the past couple of weeks alone, Rage Against the Machine, the Black Crowes, Mötley Crüe, and My Chemical Romance have announced reunion tours for 2020. These bands all splintered into various solo projects once they broke up, but the lure of a big-money reunion is hard for nearly any group to resist. This is especially true at a time when the culture is producing very few popular new rock bands, but festivals all over the globe are still desperate for fresh headliners. That said, there are still many dormant bands...

On June 23rd, 1974, 21-year-old jazz-fusion guitarist Daryl Stuermer was watching the short-lived talk show Speakeasy when the guests for the evening included Beach Boys singer Mike Love, English guitarist John McLaughlin, jazz flutist Charles Lloyd and Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel. Stuermer had never heard of Genesis and the brief video segment showing their performance of “Supper’s Ready” did little to win him over. “Peter was wearing a flower on his head,” says Stuermer. “When I saw that I thought, ‘Oh, that’s not my kind of thing. This is ridiculous.

Phil Collins melded his long-running stage band with the Roots to perform his signature solo track "In the Air Tonight" Tuesday on The Tonight Show. Daryl Stuermer and "Captain" Kirk Douglas traded off smoldering guitar leads and power chords, while Questlove powered through the distinctive drum-fill-to-end-all-drum-fills as the whole band revved up for a heavier instrumental coda.
The Roots clearly relished the performance. Douglas grinned, eyes closed in ecstasy, during Stuermer's guitar sections, and Quest nodded in approval throughout behind his kit. In Collins' interview with Jimmy Fallon, the host...
