After retiring in 2002, Phil Collins performed his first full set in six years last year, and now the former Genesis frontman has kicked off an honest-to-goodness tour in support of his upcoming memoir Not Dead Yet. He played his first comeback show at Liverpool's Echo Arena tonight, with a band that included longtime guitarist Daryl Struermer and his son Nick Collins on drums. The setlist included two Genesis hits ("Invisible Touch" and "Follow You Follow Me," the first time Collins ever sang it in a solo show), a handful of songs he hadn't sung since the '90s ("Only You Know And I Know," "I Don't Care Anymore"), and some songs he'd never done live ("Wake Up Call," a cover of Vera Lynn's "If You Love"). Watch some clips below.
