Phil Collins never wanted to be the lead singer of Genesis

El Paso, (Entravision). Phil Collins tells the Yorkshire Post that he never wanted to be the lead singer of Genesis, but had to after Peter Gabriel left. “It was the last thing I wanted. I liked being a drummer and that’s what I wanted to do. But when Peter left we couldn’t find another singer and so the rest of the band convinced me to do it. “There really wasn’t another option and I drew the short straw. I often wonder what life would have been like if Peter hadn’t left and I had stayed playing the drums.”
