This might be old news – nearly two weeks old – but I only just heard about it… it looks like Genesis will be re-forming to tour next year. The band’s official website just says there will be an announcement on November 7th, but there are rumours.
So far the rumour is that it will just be Collins, Rutherford & Banks going on tour, but there is a suggestion that they might subsequently do another tour with Peter Gabriel. No mention of Steve Hackett though. I know Phil Collins is a despicable Tory, responsible for a huge pile of mawkish solo work, but I still think he was a top drummer.
If it’s just the 3 of them, I wouldn’t be bothered – but if Gabriel toured with them, then try and keep me away!
Although it would be wishful thinking to think he’d get out the batwing outfit or the giant flower headdress…
It gets better though… they are re-mixing albums like Foxtrot and the Lamb into 5.1 for release on SACD.
