    Phil Collins comes out of retirement to sing 'In The Air Tonight' at his sons' school

    Phil Collins made a surprise appearance at his sons' Miami school last week, performing 'In The Air Tonight' and other songs for pupils.

    Collins appeared at Miami Country Day School and shared the stage with the school's middle school band at a spring music concert, reports the Miami Herald.

    Collins reportedly told the crowd that he was nervous playing his first show since retiring in 2011. The singer performed his hit singles 'In The Air Tonight' and 'Land Of Confusion' in front of the students, including his sons who attend the school in Miami Shores. Orianne Collins Mejjati, Collins' ex-wife and mother to his sons said he performed because one of his sons asked him to.

    Earlier this year Collins revealed that he is working on new music with Adele for her next album. He claimed to have not really heard of the singer but that he was writing new music with her having been impressed with her voice and level of success.

    Genesis was one of the first tapes I ever owned. Never get tired of Phil Collins.

    Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

    I though he said he lived in Switzerland to be near his kids? It was something that got mentioned when he was promoting his book on the Alamo. For those that don't know, Collins has a pretty passionate interest in Texas history, specifically the Alamo and owns a massive collect of artifacts from the battle.

    He retired due to health problems, including loss of hearing in one ear. I doubt he does another reunion. Would have been great, though, to see Gabriel and Collins back together with Genesis one last time.
