Besides being a big part of the Musical Tarzan in America, Phil Collins is also very much involved with the Dutch version, which will open in April of 2007.
Phil worked together with the translator of the Tarzan songs to make sure that the translation stays within the meaning of the songs, he also had a big role in choosing the players of the Dutch play.
Phil is good friends with tennis legend Andre Agassi. On October 7th - 2006, Phil was one of the artists to perform at the gala benefit of the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation (AACF), which raised more then $8.6 million.
Phil(about drumming with brushes): This is difficult stuff. The next time you're in a bar or a lounge and the drummer is playing with these things.... give him some credit!
Phil: (about star academy style shows) I have a big soft spot for the French version. It is a well intentioned show and a good Variety show with guest stars who, if they choose to, can get involved more than just the performing of their "hit". I've performed in the last 3 series and am a bit of a team Mascot!
Phil: Roger Waters once said, or at least I read that he did, that he was always too busy writing his stuff to listen to other peoples music, and that it didn't really interest him what other people wrote...I tend to agree with him.
