It is rare to hear the name Phil Collins nowadays. He has released over 30 solo albums and helped create many successful songs such as "In The Air Tonight," "Against All Odds," and "Lonely Days." However, his fame did not last long. After his third album Face Value, Collins retired from the music industry entirely, giving up on a promising career in late 1986. Here we will take a look at what made him decide to retire and what that means for the future of his discography. In 1983, after producing three albums with Genesis, Collins decided to step out of the spotlight. With a series of bad decisions and a deteriorating relationship with his fellow band members, Collins felt he could not continue on as a solo artist. He was open about his troubles during interviews with the press, but his decision to retire came as a surprise even to those close to him. In fact, he had been planning on retiring for several years before announcing it publicly in 1985. The reason for Collins' retirement is quite simple: he felt that he had lost interest in music altogether. While this may seem odd now, it is not entirely uncommon among artists who have dedicated their life towards music for countless hours over the course of decades. Collins felt that he didn't want to look back in ten years and wish he had spent more time with his family and in other careers altogether. He decided it was best to stop while he was ahead, rather than when he was down and out. After quitting music, Collins focused on his family life. He married his second wife (Kathryn) in 1975 and fathered four children: Sophie, Lily, Nicholas, and Matthew. The family currently lives in Switzerland together. Collins also became involved with charity work and has been a frequent donor to the World Wildlife Fund for over 25 years now. The exact contents of Collins' retirement plan remain unclear today. However, he did see a possible return to music in the future. In a speech accepted by Radio Prague after being awarded the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadorship, Collins noted that his retirement was not an "all or nothing" deal. This meant that he was open to performing and making music once more. However, it would take a special event for him to return to the spotlight. In other words, he made sure to keep his options open. In 2002, Collins finally resumed his career with the release of Testify. The album proved that Collins was still a vital songwriter and performer, even after taking a lengthy break from the industry. The album proved that he was still in the game and that the fire hadn't died out. Yet, Collins still kept his options open. Perhaps it was his way of making sure he had nothing to lose after so many years away from the spotlight. Collins also allowed guest appearances during this time. He sang several songs with Sting, for example, something which would have been unthinkable back in 1985. This change of heart shows that Collins was not so determined to remain retired as many people thought he was at one point in time. He had merely lost interest in music for a while and needed some time away to clear his head. Whilst Collins may have retired, his memory still remains strong among fans and critics alike. cfa1e77820
