Phil Collins world tour goes down under

Phil Collins has announced a string of live dates for his Not Dead Yet tour for Australia and New Zealand for January and February and he'll return to Europe in the summer.

“I have rediscovered my passion for music and performing," says Collins. "It's time to do it all again and I'm excited… it just feels right."

Collins world tour kicked off at Liverpool's Echo Arena back in June 2017 also saw him headline one of the British Summer Time concerts in London's Hyde Park. He's also recently released the four disc collection Plays Well With Others, which features his collaborations with other artists over the years, including Pewter Gabriel, George Harrison, Rober Fripp, Biran Eno, Robert Plant and Al Di Meola.

Tickets for the Antipodean dates are no sale now, while the European dates go on pre-sale this Wednesday and on general sale Friday.
