Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
Phil Collins says he was surprised to learn he would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his solo career, and is “very, very pleased” to receive the recognition. The induction, on 14 November, comes 16 years after he entered the Hall as a member of Genesis.
Collins began his solo career with the 1981 album *Face Value*, improvising without a master plan and drawing on his self-taught musicianship. “In the Air Tonight” became his best-known song, reaching number two in the UK and number 19 in the US; Collins has sold more than 100 million solo albums and won eight Grammy Awards. The 2026 inductees also include Iron Maiden, Oasis, Billy Idol, Wu-Tang Clan, Joy Division/New Order, Sade and Luther Vandross.
