Excellent news. I can throw away the voodoo doll now.

Will somebody also alert the Baltimore authorities to the increased risk of suicide in the area?

You sort of get a mention Dusty when he says that his success made people want to strangle him & that people grew to hate him & the fact that you grew to over 6 feet means that you grew more than most

Concentrating on his acting career; Buster was fab!   Keep the grade A flicks coming Phil!

I'm sorry, but I like Phil's music, at least the first couple of albums he did solo and some of his work with Genesis. I saw him in concert, and he was pretty good.
In the Air Tonight is a great song to me.

Tell me this then, if he's such a fucking great drummer, and that's his best song, how come most of the way through it's a drum machine? 

The reality is that he's crap, he's always been crap, he tried to make a comeback last year singing duff versions of good songs, nobody bought it so now he's fucked off in a huff, good riddance.

That`s your opinion Dusty, there are still people who like him. Such as me. Phill`s songs helped me trough a couple of very bad things in my life, which is not so long yet but still..

Lol! I know a certain American policeman feels strongly about ol Phil!
There is quite a revered studio technique when it comes to the drums of In The Air Tonight recording. I don't have all the details (lol) but there are tales told of unearthly use of compressors that suck the sound from the drums in reverse, to give it that distinctive vibe. The natural use of big room reverb on MFN is almost the opposite effect.

you don't have to be sorry and I personally  don't think everything he has done is crap but I know Dusty hates him with  passion (a typical Scottish thing I was told, hating people you don't know) so I couldn't resist teasing him....

I saw him in concert about 12 years ago (when I was 10) & I thought that he was fine,I'd have gone to see him again but he always played in Dublin which is a 350 mile round trip so that was an over nighter & if I'm not mistaken the tickets were something like
