The long-awaited autobiography from Phil Collins, one of the bestselling music artists of all time. This is the rollercoaster journey from his beginnings as a child actor to his domination of the charts both as a solo artist and as part of Genesis. His success is astounding, his music

has global reach and his story is legendary

In his own words is the candid, witty, and unvarnished

story of the songs and shows, the hits and pans, the marriages and

divorces, the ascents to the top of the charts and into the tabloid

headlines.

As one of only three musicians to sell over 100 million

records both in a group and as a solo artist, Collins breathes rare air,

but he has never lost his talent for crafting songs that touch

listeners around the globe.

This is the story of his epic career, from child actor to one of the most successful songwriters of the pop music era. A

drummer since almost before he could walk, Collins received on-the-job

training in the seedy, thrilling bars and clubs of 1960s swinging London

before finally landing the drum seat in Genesis. Later he would step

into the spotlight on vocals after the departure of Peter Gabriel, and

compose the songs that would rocket him to international solo fame with

the release of Face Value and 'In the Air Tonight'.

Whether

he's recalling jamming with Eric Clapton and Robert Plant, pulling

together a big band fronted by Tony Bennett, playing twice at Live Aid,

or writing the Oscar-winning music for Disney's smash-hit animated film Tarzan, Collins keeps it intimate and his storytelling gift never wavers.
