Phil Collins Reopens Old Feud With Noel Gallagher Add to My Fav Bands List

Phil Collins may have retired from music but that hasn’t stopped him getting involved in a feud with another musician.

The Genesis man has reopened an old argument with Noel Gallgher, who previously attacked him for his political views.

Before the 2005 General Election in the UK, Gallagher said: "Vote Labour: if you don't and the Tories get in, [Collins] is threatening to come back from Switzerland, and none of us want that."

In a interview with The Times Collins responded to the comment, saying: "I don't care if he likes my music or not. I do care if he starts telling people I'm a wanker because of my politics.

“It's an opinion based on an old misunderstood quote."

Collins yesterday announced he was retiring from music, you can read full details on Gigwise HERE

  • First of all, Phil Collins has not retired from the music industry, completely. This article is extremely misleading. Furthermore, The comment Phil Collins allegedly made in the interview, was actually said in 2005.
