the who disappoints phil collins

[Lowgens02 at aol.com]

He's fustrated because he signed on for a short tour but they keep adding on 
shows and it's
pissing him off that he has to be away from his kids even longer than 
expected.
 
 
>From Contactmusic.com:
 
Rocker _PHIL COLLINS_ 
(http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/collins%20regrets%20comeback_1036826#)  regrets agreeing to reunite with GENESIS, 
because the comeback tour has kept him away from his two young sons. The singer has 
split with his third wife Orianne Cevey since agreeing to reform the band - 
and he hates the way the tour has left him thousands of miles away from 
Switzerland, where Cevey lives with their children Nicholas and Matthew. He tells 
Mojo, "I'm not interested. My life is in turmoil. Frankly, at the moment I am 
living for my two little boys, so this tour is actually a pain in the arse 
because I'm away from home. I've been trying to keep it short. "Every time somebody 
said we could pay for the tour if we do another four dates, I said no. I 
signed on to buy a blue suit: I don't want to end up with a red one."

_Genesis_ (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/6120.html)  [ _tickets_ 
(http://www.ticketmaster.com/search?keyword=Genesis&CAMEFROM=LD_12053_inlinetext)  ] 
has announced a pile of new dates for its first American tour in 15 years, 
adding second shows in some markets and including brand new cities in its updated 
itinerary.  
As reported _previously_ 
(http://www.livedaily.com/news/Genesis_tour_to_turn_on_America-11643.html) , Genesis will begin the North American segment of its 
tour in Toronto, with a newly added second show changing the tour's launch 
date to Sept. 5.  
The outing--which now includes extended runs in Chicago and Los Angeles-- is 
now scheduled to hit 20 cities,. The full schedule is included below.  
Anticipation for Genesis' first North American trek in 15 years has been 
running high since November, when Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks 
announced they would take the "Turn It On Again" tour to venues across Europe 
this summer. Before heading to North America, Genesis will play in Finland, 
Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Germany, France, Holland, the UK, 
Monte Carlo and Italy. European dates are listed at the band's _website_ 
(http://www.genesis-music.com/) .  
Collins, Rutherford and Banks will be joined onstage by longtime Genesis 
sidemen Chester Thompson (drums) and Daryl Stuermer (guitar). During a New York 
City press conference in March, Collins said there would be a lot of 
double-drumming, adding that he and Thompson have been playing together for about 30 
years.  
The trek has no corporate sponsor, and no guest performers are anticipated. 
Genesis will play songs from its large catalog, forgoing material from the 
members' solo careers.  
To coincide with the tour, 13 Genesis studio albums will be remastered and 
reissued in three stages this year. The first set, "Genesis: 1976-1981," is a 
five-album collection with bonus material including rare tracks, EPs and 
b-sides, according to a press release. The six-CD/six-DVD box set hit stores April 24.
