Two years ago, the Emily in Paris star expressed her pride in her father’s work after attending his final Genesis concert in London.

“To have witnessed this last show was truly the memory of a lifetime, and I’ll hold it in my heart forever. ‘Endlessly grateful’ doesn’t even begin to cover it,” she wrote in an emotional Instagram post from 2022.

So much love was left on that O2 stage, and even more shared with an audience who didn’t want it to end,” she continued.

“Thank you @genesis_band for the memories, thank you dad for being such an inspiration, and thank you @nic_collins for making me the proudest sister. 50 years of songs later, and still generations more to celebrate long after this tour has finished,” she concluded, giving a special shout-out to her brother, Nic Collins, who took over as the band’s drummer in place of their father.

Phil, 73, who revealed during his appearance on BBC Breakfast in 2021 that he had stopped playing drums due to a neck injury, once explained how proud he was of his son stepping in.

“It’s not because he’s the boss’ son that he’s playing the drums, it’s because he’s good enough,” Phil shared in a past interview.

“The band fell in love with him. He wasn’t in awe of the situation, and suddenly it was like he knew exactly what he was doing. I’m very pleased, for both of us, that we get to go through this together,” the music legend added, explaining how Genesis warmly welcomed its newest member.
