Phil Collins to Enter Rock Hall as Solo Artist
The former Genesis frontman will be honored with a solo induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 14, 2026.
Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Rock
Phil Collins will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist on November 14, 2026. He was previously enshrined with Genesis in 2010.
Why it matters
The induction marks a second Hall of Fame honor for Collins, who is now 75 and has been away from music for a few years. The honor has also prompted him to weigh whether he might return to the road.
Collins' last concert was on March 26, 2022, at London's O2 Arena, the final show of the Genesis farewell tour. He performed vocals seated, unable to play drums due to nerve and back damage.
