About this listen

Phil Collins' long awaited memoir doesn't hold back, featuring accounts of his music career and personal relationships. From his first tentative steps as a child actor to his remarkable career as a musician and his struggles with addiction and alcoholism, this is an intimate and engaging narrative about the man behind the music.

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.

A great autobiography, well read by Phil Collins. Although I'm not a huge fan of his solo work (barring one or two fantastic exceptions) I am a fan of Genesis, so this made for a great book. It really opened my eyes to his like and huge body of work. Would highly recommend to anyone with even a passing interest in his music.

A must read/listen for any Genesis or PC fan

I was particularly impressed by the delivery with Phil himself reading this book, it was so full of expression. And excellently written.
Obviously there’s so much to pack in, so found the final chapters a bit rushed but perhaps he will do another update now we are in a new decade...
Overall a marvellous account of an astonishing life.

Great and well delivered audiobook

Loved this open and frank biography. I have always been a fan of his music and never realised the struggles he had to go through.
I really enjoyed him reading his story as it made it more real.

I really enjoyed listening to this book, after growing up listening to genesis music and phils solo albs as my dad was a big fan.

Fantastic

Inspiring and a hero of mine, growing up all these years wanting to be Phil Collins. Being able to hear Phil narrate this book was great. Felt like he was in the room, sotting in-front of me telling his life story.
I really enjoyed it and have found the book to be not only extremely interesting but very informative as well.
Thank you Phil.

Feel sorry for the little fellah, must admit that I was one of the " surely Phil Collins must be sick of hearing Phil Collins ballads " brigade in the 90's.

He has done a lot for a lot of people at his own personal cost being his failed marriages , he's made people and organisations rich, but at what cost to himself physically.

it's opened up my eyes to work and the demands that come with it. Time to slow down I think.

One thing I'm appalled at is, I had an impression that drugs and alcohol abuse featured through all his life, how wrong I was, it's the damn press that blew that out of proportion. The alcohol abuse was late on in life when he had time to spare and was alone, poor guy - I apologize for judging Phil on what is sensationalised in the media.

Fully recommend this book, it pulls all the emotional chords, it's bouncy in its delivery and the narration is superb, somewhat unnerving though getting in character during the chapters on his alcohol addiction.

Phil Collins - you are indeed a National Institution. May you live long, find love and be happy.

Loved it

So well written and, in my opinion, even better told (especially by Phil Collins himself).
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip down memory lane. It also reaffirms that there is always a price to pay…

Absolutely fantastic!
