About this listen

Phil Collins gained fame as both the drummer and the lead singer for Genesis and continues to enjoy worldwide success today. He's one of only three recording artists who have sold over 100 million albums both as solo artists and separately as principal members of bands - the other two being Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.

Revered as a drummer, he's the only performer of distinction to have appeared at both the UK and US original Live Aid concerts, the creator of numerous worldwide hits, and an Oscar winner for the song 'You'll Be in My Heart' from the Disney film Tarzan.

Phil Collins' life has also been rich with experience outside of music, starting with his career as a child actor, appearing aged 13 as the Artful Dodger in the stage production of Oliver!, through Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Miami Vice and The Band Played On. In his memoir Phil talks honestly about his three failed marriages, his alcoholism and his ill health but also describes the highs and lows of his career and what it is like to work with other rock legends, from Eric Clapton to Robert Plant.

Published to coincide with the release of a singles collection, Not Dead Yet will thrill fans and change minds.

I have been a fan of Phil Collins since I was a child as soon as I came across this book I had to buy it.

Frequently says ‘I’m not that person’ then tells a story suggesting he actually might be!

Interesting story honestly told

I’ve been a long time fan of Collin’s and his work, Genesis had an incredible impact on me growing up as a teenager, so to listen to the lead singer narrate his own book, was very pleasing.

As you’d expect (given he’s a song writer), the book is well written, entertaining and towards the end, quick a shock. You do at time’s feel quite sorry for his family that they are a victim of his success.

This is a book I’d highly recommend to anyone, not just a Phil Collin’s fan.

Entertaining as you’d expect

The only man who can tell Phil's story is Phil & he does it here in his typical laid back style. Covering all aspects of his professional & personal life, this is a tale that will enlighten fans of his work.

A Life In Music & Madness

An interesting story (almost) of rags to riches and with all the limitations that money can buy. There were times I found the author self-indulgent but this was perhaps balanced by the bravery of revealing his personal flaws. And Collins identifies many, particularly his conflict between need and loyalty. Perhaps his own poor parenting that gave him ambition outside family security. Somehow wealth can bail you out of most things but alcohol abuse. But in the end PC is a notable musician, a celebrity of the media (in the widest sense), and yet in one sense an ordinary guy with natural talent, a frequently likeable personality, a workaholic, with an inability to sustain anything but his music. A success? A failure? Well, of course, both in abundance. As one who is only 1 year older, and successful in many ways, I am pretty boring at the side of him. Then again, I am not badly off and I have a wife who I can stick with forever and every chance she will reciprocate. In addition, I can still listen to PC anytime and experience the heartbreak I have had as he has. I like knowing that his royalties make him even more affluent but, sadly a little near to death. May his wealth end up in the many places he has directed it to, including ‘Custa’s’ last stand. “Thank you for the music” as ABBA once sung. I might also have died for that. One of our treasures. May you live forever Phil! And perhaps you will.

A must for Collins fans

A very listenable audiobook, truly enjoyed being immersed in Phillip life, and what a huge, eventful life ot has been. Self effacing, and no holds barred, there is sadness within, along with ongoing triumph over adversity. A privileged life does not always mean an easy one - a fascinating listen, and, I feel, even had I not followed Phils career, and that of Genesis, I would have still found much to love about this work.

Story well told of a very large life

Well written and narrated by a man dedicated to music. The information about the personalities of the band members and the dynamics within the band was interesting. Also, some very entertaining stories involving other music icons of the time. Well worth the listen.

Greatly Enjoyed

Well I have always loved Phil Colin’s and now I love him even more. He lays his life bare. No excuses, full of love and compassion for his family and friends. Huge talent, huge heart.
I can’t help feel for the man who got caught up in his own circumstances.
I love that he blames no one.
He does however deserve love and compassion. I hope his children appreciate that he is a superhuman talent with regular human failings.❤️

Heartfelt, Honest, Beautiful ❤️

My very first audiobook, and not my last, I hope. I'm a Massive fan of Collins and this book gave me everything a fan would want from the man. I did think the early years and later years were more interesting, as his 80's period has has been well documented before, in other works. A sad story, with humour and amazing achievement is my way of briefly summing up the book. I loved the personality of the audiobook, which for me gave it that cheeky Chappy feel... highly recommend.
