Phil Collins open to Genesis reunion
"I'm open for it," said Collins, 54, the most prominent international music star to perform in Israel since the start of a Palestinian uprising more than five years ago.
"I'm happy to sit behind the drums and let Peter (Gabriel) be the singer. If (a reunion) happens, I'll be there. If it doesn't happen ... it would just be because there are too many things in the way," Collins told reporters in Tel Aviv.

Collins left the band in 1996 to concentrate on his own solo career having already scored solo hits in the 1980s with Against All Odds and In the Air Tonight.
After a shuffle of band members, including an Israeli drummer, Genesis finally called it quits in 1998.
