Reunited with his old pals from Genesis, Phil Collins dusted himself off after a four-year hiatus and immediately went to work writing new material for the band's 1991 release, We Can't Dance. The group's efforts paid off handsomely as the album went on to sell over four million copies and featured five hit singles on the radio--including the Adult Contemporary favorite "Never A Time". The once again question is whether or not Collins can rebound from multiple surgeries, failed marriages and substance abuse issues? We will soon find out as Collins signed on for his Not Dead Yet Tour which will roll through Chicago in October. It's his first tour of the US in 12 years and will feature his son on the drums.
