Best & most honest autobiography I have read.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I didn't expect a lot but the honesty with which Mr Collins told his story was refreshing. A great musician and an honest, fallible human being.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Not Dead Yet?

Phil talking about his battle with alcoholism and the profound affect it has on his family and friends.

Which scene was your favorite?

Heartbreaking to hear him talk about the song he wrote for Eric Claptons son and then Eric Clapton responding with the song he had written himself.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A great, dedicated musician, with too little focus on his marriages.

Any additional comments?

I didn't expect much when I listened to this but it is definitely one of the best autobiographies I have ever listened to. A very honest account IMHO.

Really enjoyable listen.

Any additional comments?

Well worth a listen to Genesis and Phil Collins fans. Lots of great stories, humour and insight read in an honest and easy going way. Loved it.

This guy is Phil of Wit!

Man... I'm a big admirer of Phil's work. The Genesis work... His solo efforts... I'm even getting a chance to listen to many of his collaborations from over the years--some notable, ie. "Easy Lover", and many, not so notable.

I'm going to keep it short here. This book makes me like the man that much more! From his sense of humor to his simplistic, yet eloquent, writing style--what's not to love about this guy? It's also great to finally hear hia version of his much publicized issues over the years.

Easy A, in my book! I will purchasing a physical copy, just to add to my personal collection.

Good listen

The entire book was interesting and fun to listen to. I listened in the car day after day until it was finished. Phil narrates his life with candor and tells an interesting story. I heard he'd written this book on a late night talk show and immediately got it. I'm not sure he tells the whole truth but it's his version and well worth taking some time out to listen to my teenage obsession in music. I saw genesis 2x in Buffalo NY, when he was still the drummer, front row center, stoned and enthralled. that was in the 1970s, so I loved this memoir!

A storyteller extraordinaire

Mr. Collins is a born performer and I can’t imagine anyone but him telling his story. He lays his heart out for all to see, warts and all, and while he may sometimes be an unreliable narrator, you end up not caring. A fantastic audiobook.

Amazing Autobiography

Amazing autobiography from the author. I have been a huge Genesis fan for years and did not know much of this information. Very good book.

I really like Phil's '80s music, Genesis & Peter Gabriel.

There was a lot of music that I was unaware of & all the touring. As of the writing of this book, he only once says that all his marriage difficulties had him in common. He needs more therapy. I was disappointed he could write such great music and be so self unaware. I did laugh in parts, felt sad for the ex-wives & most of all his kids. all in all a good story & good narrarator.

I didn’t know he had an alcohol problem.

Hearing about how humble he was as he met other stars when he had already made it.

Enthralling

Loved to hear the stories behind the songs. Phil was a great narrator which shouldn’t be surprising given his acting skills. I’m so sad to hear of his physical and emotional trials. What a talent. Love you Phil.

Great and Honest Story!

Having Phil Collins read his life story is amazing. He’s brutally honest and tells his story both good and bad. Highly recommend especially if you are a fan of his or Genesis.
