Phil Collins Sidelined Former Yes Singer Jon Anderson's Solo Career
.
(Prog) Jon Anderson has recalled how Phil Collins sidelined his solo career during the 80s. The former Yes vocalist claims that he and Phil Collins were signed to Virgin at the same time - and that the label asked for his pay advance back after hearing both of their projects. Anderson tells Prog: "They signed me and old whats-his-name - Phil Collins - in the same month. Then Phil goes to no.1 with Face Value for a thousand years. Gosh, I misjudged that situation." The singer claims the Genesis man scuppered his chances once again years later when his 1988 album In The City Of Angels flopped everywhere in the world - except Quebec. Anderson says: "I played a festival in Quebec and it was still being played on the radio. The promoter told me, 'This was a big album here.' I said, 'Really? This is the only place in the world it was, then.'" He adds: "Basically it was Phil again. Genesis' Invisible Touch. Phil's voice in that period was so perfect for radio. Mine was not so good for radio." Read more here. Prog Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. |
