Phil Collins has confirmed that a long-running rift between him and former Beatle Paul McCartney has been resolved, telling fans that the two musicians have reconciled after years of reported tension. The comments put to rest years of speculation about friction between two of Britain's most prominent rock figures, whose paths have crossed repeatedly across decades of the UK music industry.

Collins, known both as Genesis frontman and solo artist, is reported to have said "we've made up" regarding his relationship with McCartney, though full details of what originally caused the falling-out and how the reconciliation came about were not extensively laid out. The disclosure offers a rare personal update from Collins, who has largely stepped back from touring and public appearances in recent years due to ongoing health issues.
