It’s been 11 years since GENESIS wrapped up their 'Turn It On Again' reunion tour and there’s been little reason to think the famous group would ever play again - especially after Phil Collins suffered extensive nerve damage that’s made it difficult for him to walk, let alone play drums. But Collins came out of retirement last year for his ongoing 'Not Dead Yet' solo tour, featuring his teenage son Nicholas on drums. And tells that he’s open to the idea of returning to Genesis with his son along for the ride.
When asked about another possible Genesis reunion, Phil Collins said: “Me, Mike [Rutherford] and Tony [Banks] are pretty close still. I can’t imagine what it would be like if I didn’t play the drums, but anything is possible.” :cool:

ALAN PARSONS has signed a deal with the Frontiers label and has revealed he's working on a new solo CD, due for release in early 2019. This will be the first Alan Parsons studio album since ‘A Valid Path’ (2004) - which saw him work with David Gilmour and The Crystal Method. The overall musical approach of the future release is to be in keeping with the symphonic rock explored on Alan’s earlier records and the Alan Parsons Project albums. There will be some very special guest performances, which should be announced in due course. :cool:
