December 22, 2004:
“The SchoolJam” initiative
auction off some instruments autographed by famous
stars, like the Gretsch Snare and a Sabian Cymbal
individually signed by Phil Collins.
The
Auctions are already running and will end on December
31th.
The
"SchoolJam" initiative (http://www.schooljam.de)
aims to create a sustainable effect for the pop
and rock music culture in schools, so that all proceeds
from the auctions will go to Schools that want to
start their own bands and working groups for pop
and rock. December 10, 2004: Phil and Orianne's
new baby was announced by the man himself on the
Phil Collins Forum:
"Mathew
Thomas Clemence arrived safely Dec 1st.... at 13.53pm
.... 3k 210..... Mother and baby doing great, and
Father over the moon....."
An
official statement then followed:
Phil,
Orianne and Nicholas Collins welcomed Mathew Thomas
Clemence into the world on Dec.1st 2004 in Geneva.
Phil said "We'd been trying for another brother
or sister for Nicholas for ages and we're absolutely
thrilled it's a boy. His brothers and sisters are
over the moon. We are a very happy family !!!"
December 4, 2004: This just in from Phil Collins.....
I said I'd keep you posted of the new arrival so
here is the lowdown. Mathew Thomas Clemence arrived
safely Dec 1st.... at 13.53pm .... 3k 210.....
Mother and baby doing great, and Father over the
moon.....
I know a lot of you will wish him and his Mum well,
so I'll pass on your best wishes to them.
Congratulations to Phil and Orianne!!!!!!
November 20, 2004: According to Phil's
website and Forum, the DVD for the First Final Farewell

DVD. The official release date for the United States
is January 25, 2005. You can find it here

August 11, 2004: You can now buy official Phil Collins'
Tour Merchandise on-line through Bandmad.
You must register before you can buy. The page with
Phil's merchandise is here.
August 9, 2004: It has been announced that
the Pittsburgh show has been cancelled, speculation
is lack of ticket sales.
Also, another show for Philadelphia has been announced
for September 23 in Philadelphia at the Wachovia
Center, tickets go on
sale August 16, 2004 at 10am.
Work
is nearly complete on the DVD
of Phil's European Tour. Nick Davis has been
putting the finishing touches to the project at
a studio on London's South Bank. A sneak preview
last week showed both performance and recording
to be of the highest standard. Recorded in Paris,
the huge audience and Phil and the band are clearly
enjoying themselves enormously as they perform Sussudio
at the end of the set. At one hilarious point, Phil
nearly disappears bodily into the crowd when a most
enthusiastic lady grabs him and won't let go as
he involves the audience in a chorus singalong.
The
sound is superb and the picture quality crystal
clear. Release is expected later this year - and
expect a lot of extra goodies on the DVD to make
it an invaluable addition to your PC collection.
Love
Songs CD
Also
coming later this year is the long overdue 'Love
