Finally, Phil Collins’ autobiography is here. He’s one of the bestselling artists of all time, moving hundreds of millions of units long before the stream boost. But he’s also hugely and broadly influential among his peers, and that combination doesn’t happen often. Not Dead Yet: The Memoir traces Collins’ arc from his beginnings in the entertainment biz as a child actor all the way to his success as the drummer and frontman of Genesis and as a solo artist. If his prose is anything near as good as his lyrics, and there’s insight into any of his various gems like “In The Air Tonight,” “Easy Lover” and so many others, this will be a must-read.
