Phil Collins has been "off the grid" for more than three years now.

When his career was at its peak, in the 80's, he was booked solid three years in advance. He was recording and touring both with Genesis and as a solo artist. He was also much in demand as a session musician.

Rolling Stone reports the former Genesis front man may be contemplating a comeback. This would be a 180 degree turn from statements he made in 2012.

[I maybe playing] some shows again, even with Genesis. Everything is possible. We could tour in Australia and South America. We haven't been there yet. - Phil Collins

Whatever he decides to do won't include playing drums. Nerve damage has robbed him of that talent. Collins says his children have encouraged him to get back into the game. It sure would be nice to hear from him again. Don't you think?
